We have all been very excited to make this last big transition in our daily routine. We have prepared – registered, visited her classroom, met her teacher, bought a Minnie Mouse book bag & supplies, gone clothes shopping – for weeks now, and today was finally the day!
She was excited when she woke up and did beautifully with her new “on a schedule” morning routine – no more time for hour long breakfasts or hour long episodes of getting dressed for us! She was so excited : )
When we first arrived, she was a little overwhelmed by the noise of all the children in the gym and then the sight of them. She pulled back on me a bit, but was easily persuaded to check it out further. Mrs. Fitzgerald, her wonderful principal, showed us where to line up with her class and she sat with the other children.
Not long after, her teacher Ms. Jenkins came by to say hello and give her a hug : )
I stayed with her until they all walked down to
her classroom. She did so well staying in line, being quiet, and following the
other children. Oh, how I wish I knew what she was thinking at moments like
this!
Ms. Jenkins has been extra kind today, as well, sending mommy 2 e-mails so far to let us know how she is doing throughout the day! How thoughtful to do for a mama that is so new to all of this!
I will be heading back to pick her up in about
an hour. Will keep you posted : )
