First day of School

Today was a big day in the Brinson household... Amelia's very first day of school! She's in the 2-year old class at Binkley Preschool, here in Chapel Hill.

Lee and I got to attend class with her this morning and fun was had by all. It's safe to assume that Amelia played with EVERY toy in her classroom, meeting a few classmates along the way. She couldn't get enough of the playdough table, but had no time for the family art activity. I was left to decorate our "quilt" square that will hold our family photo.

Amelia has two wonderful teachers - Ms. Mastin and Ms. Benedict. She can easily say "Mastin," but we need some work on "Benedict."

Snack time, a big hit with most kids, was considered a waste of time by Amelia. She gave it a quick try, but kept asking to get back to the slide.

When it was time to go, Amelia stood in the middle of her classroom, hands on her scrunched-up face, and declared that she COULDN'T leave! "No Mama, I can't go home."

From the looks of it today, Amelia will love her first year of school!
