First Day

Leland had her first day of Preschool this week. She has been so excited for weeks. I knew she would have a great time and would love every minute. She is like a sponge and loves learning new things and making new friends. We all went to drop her off. Leland decided that she wanted just Daddy to take her inside. I sat in the car with Lucy and was totally fine and not emotional at all.

Chuck walked her in she hung up her bag and went right in to play. He came back to the car and I asked "How did she do? Are you okay?" He started to cry and said "Our little girl is growing up too fast." What a sweet dad I have as a husband. Then I lost it and started to cry to. I want to say that I hope it gets easier, but according to my sister it doesn't.

Luckily I had planned a playgroup for kids around Lucy's age to come over while Leland was at school. My house felt very quiet and empty until they all arrived. It was fun for Lucy to play with kids around her own age. The time flew by quickly.

Part of the first day report:

Me: Did you go potty at Preschool?
LJ: Yes. I went pee pee. I didn't wipe, but I washed my hands with soap. I couldn't get my pants on so I yelled Ms J. I need your help! Then she helped me.

Nice.
