First Day of Preschool

Today was Madison's first day of preschool. The morning started out a little rough when Madison realized I was going to take her picture (this kid is terrified of the camera!) Just to prove how scared she is - I'm sharing this horrible picture that I'm sure she will hate me for in a few years!


After some tears she decided that having her picture taken was better than losing her bike for the week. Yes...it was just a tad ridiculous & overdramatic!



We dropped her off at before-care which is across the parking lot from her actual class. The morning aide is then supposed to take the kids over to their actual class around 8am. Our good friend MJ was dropping off his daughter in the 4-year class this morning & stopped by to see how Madison was adjusting to her class. She wasn't in her class with the other before-care kids yet so he went & found her still in the before-care class & walked her over to the right classroom. I'm sure it was just 1st day chaos. However, that still didn't give me a warm-fuzzy feeling & I had a pretty rough day worrying that she was in the right spot at the right time. We picked her up from after-care this afternoon & she was so excited to tell us about her day. She had a great day & can't wait to go back tomorrow! Looks like I'm the only one who had a rough day - she did awesome!!!



This is the picture that MJ took to show me she was finally in the correct room. Hand in the mouth since she was nervous. But she told me she was a big girl & didn't cry at all today. Whew...hopefully tomorrow will be a better day for Mommy!
