Yes, my baby is in Preschool! AAAAAAAAAAAaaahhhhhhhh (emoji hands on face with jaw dropped, lol). It's crazy to think that just in a few years she'll be in Kindergarten, but let's not think about that before I make myself cry. Lol. She started her very 1st day of Preschool last Tuesday with Miss Becky, who I heard was in our stake (for church) as well. My sister (in-law) Tina had her two younger kids, Meti and Lily, attending Preschool with Miss Becky last year and now has Lily enrolled this year, and recommended I take Tina whenever she turned 3. Tina turned 3 during the last school year this past March and now enrolled for Preschool this year, 2015.
Her 1st day of school was probably harder on me than on Tina. Leading up to her 1st day, I had some separation anxiety issues and I have to admit I kind of still do. Anyways, it was a rough morning and Tina didn't want to wake up. Two weeks prior to starting Preschool, I tried getting her back on a good sleeping schedule, which Tina is finally on this week, but struggled her first week of school. So, her 1st day of school was tough and it took us literally an hour to get her out of bed, get ready, and say prayer. I could tell she was tired because she was grumpy and giving mommy attitude, but I didn't want to fight with her to make things worse. After breakfast was made and baby girl was fed, we were on our way. Thank goodness school is only 5 minutes a way! I walked her all the way up to the front door, we kissed, and I watched my baby girl walk through those doors proudly. When we had first arrived she saw other kids waiting to go in and she was already saying hi and introducing herself. Lol. Tina can be either super fun and be the life of the party or the total opposite. As I drove a way, I wiped my tears and tried to be strong like my Tina. I heard that our children feel everything we feel, from stress, to missing them, and love, so I sucked it up because I wanted Tina to have a great and positive 1st day! I love that Tina gives me a hard time (with mostly everything), BUT always enjoys her time. She didn't want to go to school that morning and already expressing her dislikes of it when she's never experienced it. Lol. She does it with everything and sometimes it drives me crazy. When I picked her up from school she ran out saying "Mommy!" with a big smile. She also walked out with some stuffed animal. It was weird and I didn't know what to think. Did it belong to the her teacher or another student?... because she was the only with one. After I buckled her in, a father came walking toward me smiling with his daughter following right behind him. Of course she would! Lol. The father kindly asked for his daughters stuffed zebra and apologized offering to buy one for Tina. Haha. I told him no apologies needed on your end and apologized for Tina. Tina through a fit and didn't want to apologize...and then we had a talk on the way home. I think that ruined her whole day, but I was able to get a few words out of her about what she did in class. It was a great 1st day!
It's neat that Preschool isn't far a way and that Tina gets to experience what school is like and I guess prepare her for Kindergarten. She goes Tues & Thurs for two hours and at home I prepare fun activities for her to try to help her learn new skills. I'll be starting school back up again in just 2 weeks. Yay! Lol.
