Alyssa's first practice was this evening. She wasn't too happy with the lack of pink colors in her uniform. She did really well dribbling and passing the ball.

Alyssa's First Day of Kindergarten
Today was Alyssa's first day of Kindergarten at Haven's Elementary in Piedmont. http://www.piedmont.k12.ca.us/havens/abo.html
She had her Hello Kitty outfit all ready to go. She did really well, no clinging to mommy, no crying. Here are a few shots below.
I caught one before she woke up, clothes all ready to go.
She had her eggs on the Hello Kitty plate and OJ in the Hello Kitty cup.
Mom and Alyssa getting to school. Notice the Hello Kitty Backpack which contains the Hello Kitty lunch box, helllo kitty pens, pencils......all B-Day presents - This Hello Kitty thing is getting out of control...... :)
Her teacher is Ms. Vanessa Miller, shown in the blue sweater with Klara as the class assistant (kneeling and talking to Alyssa in the center photo below).
Here's a collection of videos:
In class today they learned about the class room, had a snack break and then had time to do what ever they wanted. During free time, Alyssa wrote her alphabet and drew a few flowers for art work.
Sabina and I picked up Alyssa at the afterschool care on the school grounds. She had a wonderful day. She likes her teacher Ms. Miller very, very, very, very much. She made a paper crown and a paper bird today.

I took Alyssa down to her Kindergarten class this morning. She's in Ms. Miller's class and we were able to meet Ms. Miller and say hi. Alyssa was a bit shy and preferred to play on the playground out back.
