Yes, yes, the first day of preschool was two weeks ago almost. Yes, I am finally posting some photos along with a TOP TEN!!
Basic info:
Date: Thursday, August 19, 2010
School: Lincoln School
Teacher: Miss Crystal (Rubbo)
Classroom: #12
1. Taking the pre-requisite pre-leaving the house pre-school portrait with backback. Where does this kid get her cheesiness? Blaine, probably.
2. Arriving at school kinda later than originally desired. School starts at 8:30. We got there about 8:25. Again, I blame Blaine.
3. Having Miss Crystal as her teacher just puts a whole layer of comfort over everything. Crystal's parents are awesome & totally involved in all things Soledad. Her Dad was my go-to man to help me fix/install/troubleshoot all kinds of things at the Soledad Pool. And they did water aerobics! Super awesome connection.
4. Attending class with Olivia & Austin. (note: Austin's super-fly simultaneous hand-holding of Olivia & kissing of Jane).
5. Finding her name on the table: I THOUGHT my kid was a genius, however she had a difficult time finding her name tag. I blame Blaine.
6. No crying. Blah, blah, Jane's well-adjusted, blah, blah. I wanted a little resistance - you know, just so I know she'll miss me. But? Nuthin'.
7. Going out to breakfast sans kids. Jamie Bellew and I enjoyed a hot meal at First Awakenings with no interruptions, time to actually have a conversation, and glorious half-caf coffee!
8. Being at work on time.
9. Blaine graciously bringing Jane by the store after picking her up so I could find out how her fist day was.
10. Hearing Jane tell me in response to the classic "what did you do in school today?" with an ultra-classic "nothing". Ha!
Love ya Miss Jane,
Mommy
P.S. Just joshin' about blaming Blaine! If I blame him for the bad, then I have to give him credit for the good: like Jane's curly hair, her sunny personality, or her intelligent ability to identify the entire alphabet. Those are CLEARLY traits from me.

so cute! jane is the cutest thing ever. isn't it surreal to have your kid in school? it's like, "now what do i do?"
it's great.
and hooray for lincoln school! jane is walking the same hallowed halls i walked as a child... i would love to go in there again and just smell that school smell and see my old classrooms...
I LOVE LOVE LOVE the picture of Austin holding Olivia's hand while kissing Jane. That is soooo classic and be sure to have it ready to submit for his high school yearbook!!!
Hi Stacey, I really like your BLOG. My wife is into scrapbooking also and loves it. I am of course into helicopters and love flying them, but it's expensive!! It's cool you have your PPL in those whirly birds. In any case thanks for leaving a note on my BLOG site. What your Dad did was awesome I can tell he was a great man and pilot! Here’s my address;

PS We've raised four kids and our youngest is now a senior in HS, so I understand what you're going through with kids and schools :) I also wonder where all the years went to...
That's my boy! Also note the vintage Aerosmith t-shirt he picked out for the day- Way to dress up buddy! I am so happy that our kids are able to go through this experience together! And yes, we have to save that picture for high-school!
