With much anticipation and excitement, Gracie attended her first day of preschool! We had talked about it a lot and Gracie was so excited! I was a little nervous for how I would handle it, however. The day was a little crazy with two toddler boys, an infant, and Gracie to get ready. I'm really glad now that she goes to the afternoon session, so I had a few hours to prepare. Luckily, Coleton also came home so that he could be with us for the first day of drop off. She looked so pretty in her little white dress and so grown up with her backpack. I think she was a little nervous because she didn't talk much, but as she sat in the back of the Expedition she had a little grin on her face.
Gracie walked in her classroom very confidently. She was looking around her classroom and seemed very at ease. Coleton and I hugged and kissed her goodbye. No tears. I knew then that she was ready for this. I was so proud of her. As we got in the car Ryker cried. He wanted to stay at peeschool with his sister.
When we got home, Coleton went back to work, Caleb was asleep, and Ryker and Lincoln had some lunch. It just seemed like such a calm afternoon. I missed my little G, though. She's always close by and talking to me about something. Her presence in a room is usually pretty strong. :) She's definitely a part of who I now am. A little piece of my heart stays at preschool with my little Gracie girl.
She gave me a shy smile when I picked her up on her first day. Her teachers said she did great and were already calling her Gracie girl. Her daily sheet was check-marked that her mood was happy, helpful, talkative, and playful. She didn't want to talk about her day too much so I'm very glad they'll be sending home the daily report sheets.
Gracie's such a spirited little girl. I love her so much and I hope she knows that every single day.
