I can't believe that our almost 3-year-old had her first day of preschool today. It's the beginning of her schooling career. She doesn't even realize that she has many more years of this to come!
She ate a great breakfast, which is unusual for her. I told her she needed a lot of energy to play at school so she had to eat a good breakfast. That seemed to do the trick! When I dropped her off in her classroom, she walked over to her little cubbie and hung up her backpack and then just stood there looking at all of the other kids playing. I think there was so much going on, that she didn't know what to do! I gave her a hug, told her I loved her and that I would be back to pick her up very soon. There were no tears from either of us.
When I came to pick her up two hours later, I think I was more excited to see her than she was to see me. As we drove home, she told me that she went pee-pee before going to the slide park, which was inside (she was very excited about the fact that it was inside), she sang the abc's, ate some apples, and saw a black cat in her classroom. Not really sure about the black cat since she said it was real and I don't really think they have any animals at the preschool. But that was her day according to Ella.
