This was the first day of school (speech therapy) last year. Emily was almost 3 years old.
Below is the first day of school (actual pre-school) for 2008. Emily was a week away from being 4. Although she is standing on her toes a bit, notice the huge amount of growth from one year to the next. (The wreath on the door is the same.)
Here is Emily in her classroom on her birthday. She got to wear a special birthday crown and, being the wonderful mom that I am, she handed out homemade cupcakes with sprinkles to her 9 other classmates.
I stayed around to help on her birthday, so I took a couple pictures of the birthday girl in action with her classmates. 
And below we have a picture of Emily's gym class. This particular day the class was playing with a parachute, making bean-bag frogs bounce up and down on the parachute. (Am I the only one who totally does not "get" the whole parachute thing?) Clearly however, Em enjoyed the activity.
So there you have it....the beginning of the 2008 school year in pictures!

Wow! Great pictures.
About the parachute game, my best guess (not being an Educator) is that it's one of those activities that involves everybody but has no competition. Without a winner and loser, everyone wins. It's an analogy for the communist, collectivist, peace-and-harmony, citizen-of-the-world philosophy.
Plus, there aren't any dangerous moving parts that could hurt someone, so the school won't get sued.
I really shouldn't be this cynical on a Sunday morning... (fixing my attitude now)
I'm glad Emily had so much fun on her birthday!
