Well, I just dropped my baby off at preschool! It was much less traumatic than I expected it to be. She was READY. She wanted to leave the house at 7:30. She loved her new dress and shoes. She even posed for a few pictures!
When we got to school, she was alllll excited, but that was because she remembered they had a big play room with a slide right when you enter the building. So I immediately had to extricate her from the slide and get her in her classroom, get her hands washed, hang up her bag, etc. THEN try to get her to STAY there! I did get to snap a quick pic of her with her buddy Evan, Cortney‘s little guy.
Then I gave her a kiss and hug and ran away, letting her teacher be the one to have to keep her in the classroom! Sophie didn’t mind me leaving, but she wasn’t happy about the staying-in-the-room part. When Cortney emerged from the building, she told me Sophie was in the room, ummmm, how shall we say, letting her feelings on the situation be known.
Well, that’s my girl! She’ll learn to fall in line. Good luck teachers! I, like you, am counting down the minutes til I can go pick her up!
I can’t believe you got her to pose for a picture. It’s a brand new day!
what an adorable outfit!
Way to go Soph!!!! she looks so pretty and grown up in her school outfit. Hope she comes home full of stories for you to hear.
So adorable! My husband has already made plans to take the pictures when my little Critter starts preschool next week – he is (rightly) assuming that I will cry and not take a clear photo 😉
On my first day of school, first grade, Mother stayed half the day with a few other moms standing in the back room until some of us calmed down. I remember it, but I still can’t believe it. Mother wasn’t the type to coddle anyone, and I’m still amazed that she “didn’t give me something to cry about”…since staying in school wasn’t a good reason…but she stayed, and that has always amazed me, and meant the world to me.
