Back to School

Last Thursday we went to meet Avery's teachers.
Ms. Kara seemed really sweet.  She and Avery bonded over play dough.  I loved how she very sweetly but firmly told one of the other children that her name was Ms. Kara, not teacher.  I am hoping that she will be the perfect blend of kind, but firm that Avery responds to so well.  
Ms. Ale seemed very nice, too.  I like that she has 2 children who are 4 & 7, so she has lots of recent experience with 3 year old kids.  I also enjoyed overhearing her tell about the non-profit she and her husband started to provide boots to kids in need.  I am hoping this compassion will extend to a certain 3 year old boy who may nor may not stay on his nap mat.  

I am so excited to see what this school year will hold.  Hopefully, Ms Kara and Ms Ale will be just what the doctor ordered.  I know it's not a huge deal, but when you say your prayers next please say one for these two ladies.  They will be influential in Avery's life this year, and I am really praying that they "get" our little prince!

The first day is hopefully going well! 
 
Avery marched in and was having a grand old time in 2 seconds flat!
 Meeting new friends. 
Playing with play dough with old friends, too!
