First day of Pre K, Being a Big Kid

First day of School.  She refused to do the stand normal and smile pose.  Sassy.

Adriana started PreK this year.  She was very excited.  She has decided herself that this is not actually preschool anymore and she is now with the big kids.  :)  She goes to school 4 days a week in the afternoon and they have a new playground this year, which just confirmed her suspicions that she is, in fact,  a big kid.

She is loving school and having a lot of fun.  She was a little nervous at first, as she is with each new endeavor, but she did great and decided to be brave and has really loved her new class.  She has made new friends, and also have some of her old friends in there too.   Her teacher is great and things are going well.  She is learning and changing so quickly.  Too quickly but I am so proud of her.  Every day.

And keeping in line with being a big kid, at the end of August, her gymnastics teacher approached me and told us she is more than ready to move up to the Advanced Preschool gymnastics class (in this instance, the word preschool is apparently ok with her).  She now goes for an hour and a half and they do activities that are more about teaching technique and getting them on the beam and bars.  Adriana was also somewhat apprehensive about this, but 5 minutes into her new class, she was hooked.

Lastly, in September, Adriana also was moved into a higher level swim class.  So it seems that beginning classes are a thing of the past.  She is moving up and having a great time in all her activities.

Honestly, it is all a bit much for me.  She is getting so big and has been a "kid" for a long time.  But in the last few months has truly become a kid and her own being.  I am in awe of her and how she takes on the world.  She is truly an amazing kid and so funny.  She makes me laugh so much.  Her humor is awesome and right in line with Rob and I.  No doubt she is our kid.
