September days at school

Joy's teacher Mrs.  Janika does a great job of taking pictures each week. Joy has been- doing art projects about fall, coloring shapes and playing a lot of baby dolls. 

Joy now leaves bear at home but always brings either tiny baby or chrysanthemum  with her. A few days ago when I told her to get dressed because we were leaving for school she said "how many more times do I have to go to school?" The answer is many many many days (probably 20+ years left) sweetheart. 

Joy now stays for school lunch. She wanted to since the first week of school but I thought it would make the day too long. It only adds about 40 min  but she loves it!
