Ally's first day of preschool!!

HI! Today was ally's first day at preschool! It was just a "getting to know you" type of day, so we were only there for an hour, but I think she'll really like it. She really seemed to be excited to go this morning and already made a friend named Mary.

The teachers are great. I can tell that they really love kids and they are so patient and kind. Ally really loved both of her teachers.

The only thing she's going to have to get used to is getting up so early! ... And the fact that my baby isn't a baby anymore! I can't get over how shocked I am that this day has already come. It seems like just yesterday she was cradled in my arms listening to the vacuum cleaner to calm her down! lol :) I am so proud of her, though. She's really come a long way. She's so smart and she is so eager to learn. I hope that she will always have that excitement over learning.

...on another note...
The morning ended with a trip to the pediatrician for Tommy. He swallowed a penny... We have an x-ray film for his baby box. lol I have tried to teach him never to put things in his mouth, so although I was a little freaked out at first, i'm not at all surprised. People look at me with a puzzled look when I say that tommy still puts things in his mouth. Well, now you know why I'm always so nervous about him with small toys!
My biggest fear is that my kids will choke, so I don't take this lightly at all. We brought the x-ray home for him to see and i've been talking to him about where that penny is and how it's not safe to eat anything that isn't food.
So now we wait for the penny to appear....
