Settling right in...

Sophie is really enjoying kindergarten so far. She had a few bumps the first week (left her lunch box at school one day, teachers put her in the walker line instead of the carpool line for pick up, etc.), but overall she seems right at home.

Her class did a unit on colors where they had a different color of the day. The kids were encouraged, but not required, to wear something with the color for that day. Sophie picked out clothes for each day, but we also decided to paint her nails a different color each of the days. Here's a couple of the photos (purple day and pink/orange day):

Then there was the Buddy Bear assignment. This is one of their class mascots. They sent home Buddy Bear for us to cut out and dress up. Sophie could dress her (or him) up any way she wanted and could get help from anyone in the family. At first she was thinking Ballerina. Then Princess (think one of the Disney variety). But when we went to the fabric store, she fell in love with this black/butterfly material. Here is her creation:
Here is Sophie with her Butterfly Buddy Bear...notice Sophie in the matching skirt that mom made her with much help from Nana.
