First Day of Preschool

Grace woke up about 6:45 am this morning. She yelled "Mom, I am going to school today!!!" She was awake about 15 minutes earlier than I had expected but oh well. She didn't fall asleep until 10:15 pm last night because she complained of a belly ache, she was very nervous. We got ready and then Tanner stopped by on his way to catch the school bus. After a couple pictures with him and a couple of her by herself, Brooks and I got some taken with her. As we were walking up the ramp to her school I almost lost it and started crying, I contained myself. Before we left I drew a heart on her hand and one on my hand, that way we could be with each other. She had to wash her hands and was upset for a few seconds about that but she met a new friend right away and was ready to go. Mom and Dad got hugs and kisses and off we went. I cried for about ten minutes after leaving. Then I cried again about ten minutes after that and then again a few more times.

This is so hard!!! The last three years I have been with her for almost every waking moment and now I am not there. Is she making friends? Is she being good? Is she picking up?(probably not) Is she having fun? I can't wait for her to get home!!!

Mom, Grace, & Dad...First day of Preschool

An Update:
We picked Grace up from school and the teacher let us know that she did really well except a few things. 1: We forgot to tell the teacher that her friend Tori is in her class. So when they sat in group circle Tori was in front of Grace and turned around and the two talked the whole time. 2: Grace likes to fidget. She was laying on her back and rolling around. Too funny. All things that we can work on I guess. She loved her new school and is ready to head back tomorrow. However she only goes on Mondays and Wednesdays. I guess mom will have to find somehthing fun for her to do tomorrow.

p.s. Sorry the pictures are soooo bright...my camera is being dumb.
