Sydney has a late december birthday and so she will not enter kindergarten until next year. In Florida (another plus to living here) they have a VPK program. It is a state funded program that pays for all pre-kindergarden age children to attend a year of pre-school for free. The child must be 4 by sep. 1. Well being in the Navy we get to go to the private school program on the Navy base. Anyway we got Sydney all signed up and she goes 8:30 to 12 everyday!!! So essentially it is kindergarten. It is a really cute classroom and Sydney of course was super excited! She woke me up at 6:30 this morning and had her clothes all ready and her backpack ready! We walked into the class and she said C-ya mom! Anyway here are a few pictures of her eating breakfast with her backpack on and in her classroom. Andrew was crying as we left because he wanted to go to school but when it was time to pick her up he did not want to go get her!
Andrew called this the Thinking chair!
So when we picked her up she was happy and said she had a great day! The weather was super nasty this morning as well as we finish off with Gustav, I could hardly see 5 feet in front of the car. Sydney said it was the worst first day of school rain ever. I have to agree!

Shannon, your kids are so cute! Sydney's hair is just gorgeous, and Andrew's face in that picture made me smile.
It's funny, now that I know someone who lives over there, I pay much more attention to the weather and Hurricane news. I hope you're getting through it alright!
What a great program! I don't know why California doesn't get it's act together and start something like that! I have been so stressed over affording pre-school for Ryli. She starts next year too. Count your blessings right?
How stoked are you to have school everyday! And for free. Sign me up!
It looks like you guys are doing really great in FL!! When we were living in WI, they also had a state funded prek program that Luke attended...AWESOME!!
