Emma started at Garden Gate Preschool this past Tuesday. This is the same place Luke went to preschool and she absolutely loves it already! :) She has already made a few new friends... that girl makes friends wherever she goes. That makes me happy.
The first day, the parents got to stay with the kiddos. Emma decorated a seahorse using tissue paper and glue. She had lots of fun with this, and then the seahorse got hung from the ceiling. Then, one of her teacher's, Mrs. Perkins read us the story of the "Three Little Fishies and the Big Bad Shark."
Emma loves school and wanted to stay longer the first day. Today was her first day at school by herself. She did fine and walked right in and never looked back. I am thankful for this... she is quite independent already. I only shed a small tear this time... it wasn't so bad. She will go to preschool for two and half hours two days a week. This will be great for her and give mommy and Isaac some good bonding time. :)
Funny story about today after school, I asked her what she did at school and she said to me, looking perplexed, "well, mom, we didn't get to change clothes today." haha. Before her first day, we had to pack a bag of clothes to keep at school "in case of accidents." Well she had taken a lot of time and effort to decide what she was going to put in that bag. haha.
I know she will have a wonderful year at Garden Gate, as long as she is okay without getting to change clothes at school! :)
