Jeff is starting to work more hours and has been out looking for office space so we decided to ease Olivia into full-time preschool. She will go 2 full days a week for about a month, then we will add another day every few weeks to get her to full time. Today was her first day and we have been talking with her and telling her about her school and her teachers for the past week. She went on a tour of the school before she started and got to see her classroom and meet her teachers which I think helped. The school is a good one, lots of space indoors and out. They even have a gym that the kids go to each week and also daily on rainy days when they can't go outside.
She was pretty excited to go this morning. We packed up all her stuff and included her beloved BearBear and Bella to go with her. Jeff dropped her off, he said she did great, no tears and was coloring when he left. When we called to check they said she was having a good time and no melt down! They had "gym" today so she got to go and run off some energy, which I know she loved!
After a day of songs, dancing, art projects, snacks, outdoor play and gym and we have one tired girl tonight! The part Jeff was worried about was nap time, but they said she laid on the cot and rested, she did fall asleep for about 30 minutes, so that is a great start!
Hopefully it goes so well each time we drop her off (I can dream). But we are glad the first day went so smoothly! We knew she was ready to play with other kids and have more variety of activities, so we are sure she will like school!
Here she is this morning right before they left. So cute when you tell her to say "cheese"!
