I made it through the first week of kindergarten. It was tough, but we made it through. Then, today...Leah started preschool. She seemed excited to go. She has been saying that she was going to go to school in the Fall. She kept asking me if it was Fall yet. We put Ryan on the bus, took our obligatory first day picture and were off.
She was excited to walk into the building, but clammed up a bit when Ms. Michelle (the teacher she doesn't know), started talking to her. I quickly gave her a hug and handed her to Ms. Sherry and left. It was hard, I wanted to cry, but I didn't look back. I heard from another mom that she was doing well.
I went home to an empty house. It was very strange. I cleaned like a mad woman while waiting to go pick her up. I was so anxious. I had a lot of flashbacks while I was waiting for her. I kept thinking about Ryan starting there. He was 3. She was 1. I can't believe how fast time has gone.
Anyway, her teacher said that she did great. She was so happy when she came out. Talking a mile a minute. I heard that she made a new friend, Grace. She had a snack...pretzels and apple juice. She drew a picture for Daddy. She sang songs. She played with blocks and on the teeter totter. I am so glad she loves it. Now I just need the next two years to drag ;) I am now the mom of a kindergartner and a preschooler. Weird.
