Maya starts school school (preschool) and her first haircut

9/2
Maya and I went to a meet and greet at her preschool today. She wrote Mrs. K a letter that said I will bring my smile and drew a picture of her with her crazy hair on the back in response to a postcard Mrs. K sent to her. I wish I had taken a photo of it before Maya sealed it. She was so excited to give it to her today and to play with all the new toys. I think Maya is going to love school. While we were at school, Nora and Derek went to gym. Afterwards, we dropped Derek off at work and Maya asked to go get her hair trimmed. So we did. I was a little concerned when the lady combed out all the curls and then started chopping. Next time I may look for someone who has more experience with curly hair. But it's still long and curly but easier to manage. In the afternoon, we went to the park to cool off. Nora loves her big sister. She may be lost when Maya is in preschool.

Today was Maya's first day of school. It's a coop preschool so I get to be in the classroom today and about every other week. I was lucky and was a volunteer today. It helped Maya and I ease into it.
