Mini Explorers Preschool

Ashlyn started her second year of preschool the first week of September. The two weeks before that were really tough for her. She was used to having tons of kids to play with all summer and now everyone was at school. I felt bad because I loved playing with her. But, there were still things that I needed to get done during the day so I couldn't give her all eight hours while the kids were at school. Needless to say, she was super excited when preschool started and she had a social life again!

We actually ended up getting "first day of school" pictures of her on two different days. This is the picture that we took right before her preschool open house...
Here's her backpack with all of her favorite princesses...
Here she is before her first class day...

We have Ashlyn taking at Mini Explorers Preschool. It's a lady in my neighborhood that teaches it so it's super close. Ashlyn LOVES it. She goes on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. The four days between Thursday and Monday that she has to wait to go back about does her in. She would go all day every day if she could.

I've been reading a lot about the pioneers lately. It made me realize how interesting little facts are that I don't always include in my journaling. So, for posterity sake I wanted to include the price of preschool. We are paying $85.00 a month for her to go 3 days a week for 2 1/2 hours a day. She also eats lunch there. It's actually a very reasonable price for preschools around here. We paid more for Hailey and she didn't each lunch there. It's crazy, though, to think that I'm sure some day someone will read this and be baffled by how cheap preschool was back in 2011 :)
