First Day of Preschool

I was hoping to write this post yesterday, but unfortunately I was too tired to. A day late in posting I guess is better than not posting it at all. Well, yesterday was another exciting day for my family and I. It was the first day of preschool for my daughter. Before leaving for school we gave her a beginning of the school year present. (She liked what we gave her so much that she opened it before we had a chance to take a picture of her with the box. As you can see some of the pieces are missing in the box.)

The night before we prayed with her and wrote her a special first day of school message. She was very excited to go to school, but did not want to wear her tennis shoes. She wanted to wear Crocs like she did all summer. Then when we convinced her to wear her tennis shoes she did not want to wear socks. Finally we were out the door with socks and tennis shoes on. My hubby and I were both fortunate enough to have the opportunity to drop our daughter off on her first day. On the way there she was asking us off and on about why she has to wear tennis shoes and socks. When we got to school thankful she was fine and was on her merry way to the classroom.

On the way there of course we took lots of pictures. As we were waiting in line to for her classroom to open she was observing what the other kids in her class were wearing and had. She asked us "how come other kids are wearing croc and have backpacks?" We told her that we would ask her teacher if it's okay for her to wear Crocs and if she wants to she can bring a backpack to school. As soon as the door opened we went in. She found her name tag on the table and put it on. She told the teacher that her last name does not start with a "W" as it was written on her name tag. She waved "good bye" to us and went to the restroom to wash her hands as she was asked to by her teacher. She had a wonderful first day of school. She told us that she has two friends that she plays with and likes to play on the playground.

Here is her first work of art that she brought made in preschool.

We thank the Lord for helping our daughter adjust so well to going to preschool. We pray that she will have a wonderful experience this year in preschool and that she will learn lots acadmically, mature socially, and have lots of fun.
