First Day of School

Grace started school this month. Actually the first day was her birthday. She missed the deadline for kindergarten so she started preschool. I drove up to the door and the teacher came to car, unbuckled her and she hoped out turned back at me and with a big smile on her face she said "bye mom, I love." I think it was more traumatic for me than her. She loves her teacher Miss Robin. I hope that she will stayed challenged seeing how she is a little older than the rest of her class. Everyone I know who have children that were in the same situation as Grace all have told me that it is better to let her be the oldest. I hope so. At her preschool orientation her teacher was listing things they were going to be learning, for example, the Pledge of Allegiance, days of the week, months of the year. I thought to my self, hmm, Grace already knows this stuff. Her class is divided into 3 skill levels so I am confident that she will do fine. I did opt for the 5 day class so that she could get a little more out of it. So far she has really enjoyed it. She is so proud to show us what she worked on each day in school. I still can't believe my little baby girl is in school. Ok I need to stop now, my eyes are tearing up and I can't see the screen.

Kicked Outta East High

Last Friday I took my niece Erika & Grace to East High. They are filming the new High School Musical 3. Grace is a HUGE fan. She watches the first two almost on a daily basis. She has every song memorized along with most of the lines. My friend Ayme works at the school and said that they were almost done filming so we decided to go and check it out. We wandered around the school for about and hour, we saw Troy's and Sharpay's lockers, the gym, the cafeteria and as we made our way to the auditorium we saw a couple of stars from the movie. We walked into the auditorium and could see they were about to film something. A lady asked who we were with and I guess because I looked a little confused by her question she then asked if we were "off the street." Like an idiot I said yes and she said that it was a closed set and we had to leave the school premises immediately! How rude. I had no idea they were going to be filming that day. Oh well. Grace did get an autographed picture of the cast from Ayme. She had alot of fun. Now she finally believes me that it was filmed here. If you know Grace at all it takes a lot of convincing her of something. She doesn't just take your word for it. Can't wait for the movie this fall.
