Sammie went to her first morning of preschool yesterday. She did a great job. I have to admit I was a little nervous about taking her. After she woke up, I went into her room to help her pick out her "dress" of the day. Of course, she wanted to wear her Easter dress (a white dress with pink ribbon) so I had to convince her to wear a jumper that was more appropriate for the day. So once that was taken care of, we ate breakfast and then Daddy came home. Well of course, that just made things even better! We took some pictures at the front door and then drove to school. We were there a few minutes early and that was a good thing because Matt had to turn around and go back to the house to get her nametag which we had left hanging by the front door...oops!
We walked up to her classroom, so far so good. After giving her kisses, we started to talk with one of her teachers. Then I noticed there was one of Sammie's peers crying in the doorway not wanting to come in. I looked down and Sammie was watching (more like staring at) this child. In hopes to not have the same situation on our hands, I asked her if she'd like to go play with the toys. And off she went...thank goodness, that was close!! When we headed out to the car, I was starting to feel a little more nervous now. I can't believe she's in preschool. How did she get to this point so fast? Is this really true? As I'm driving out of the parking lot, I feel this knot in my stomach...but no tears. Well, let me tell you, this knot lasted about ten minutes, until I was at the mall ready for a few things to do before I had to return at 11:45 for pick up.
So when I picked her up, I asked how her day was? I was getting the typical answer, it was good. Whatcha do? "played"
That's exciting, I thought. I kept asking more things and I got out that they sang a couple of songs, read a story about a man, and colored. From all this, I am to conclude that she had a great day! We celebrated by going to RedRobin for dinner.
