Emma has been in preschool for almost a month now. The first day was great. No crying, she enjoyed playing with the kids, and the teachers said it was hard to believe it was her first day...great...then came day number two...HYSTERIA.
She has cried every day since then (she only goes twice a week). Everyone keeps telling me it's very normal and that eventually she will adjust but it makes me feel awful. The following thoughts keep running through my head: Maybe she's not ready, maybe it's the wrong school, or even worse maybe the teachers are all mean witches. I am hoping we will all adjust sooner rather than later.
Emma woke up with a big smile on her face. She couldn't wait to get her first day of school started.
I offered to make her anything she wanted for breakfast. She chose Lucky Charms and a glass of milk.
and she's off...
still super excited...
after this pic she waved good-bye to us and went off to play
So after what seemed like a very long day, it was time to pick up Emma. When she saw us, she was all smiles with a hint of relief. She was excited to tell us all about her day. She also mentioned she didn't like being left alone...ahhh my poor Goosey.
showing off her first preschool work
As for Alex, he had a grand 'ol time with big sister away at school. He had our undivided attention. I could have sworn he "talked" a lot more that day or maybe he could be heard better without Emma screaming and talking in the background.
helping me in the kitchen...normally Emma's job
Fast forward:
We have pulled Emma from Rainbow School and she will be starting at a different preschool in September. We had too many concerns so we felt it was best to pull her. She is excited to go to her new school because Sebastian will be there. I hope this school works out....fingers crossed....
