The Davis Group: First day of preschool!

Charlotte started today at "Francis Raspberry" (aka Francis Asbury) Preschool in "Mrs. Fancy's" (aka Mrs. Nancy's) class. She has always been independent and the same was true today. We walked into the school, and the director said "She's going to leave you in the dust, Mom!" Which was true, but really, she didn't have to rub it in.

As the first day approached, Charlotte got more and more excited and I got more and more sad. I'm not worried about her, I just miss her when she's gone. Charlotte ran into her class and immediately began to play in the rice table. Our neighbor friend ran up to greet her and Matt and I said our goodbyes. I walked out the door and saw 5 school busses at the elementary school across the street and immediately said "Wow, look at all of those busses!" and realized Charlotte wasn't with me. And then the tears fell. I missed my little buddy this morning. (Cailin's not yet into busses.)

Charlotte ran over to greet me when Cailin and I picked her up after lunch. I tried to ask her about the day but she was too tired to answer any questions. I was fearful she'd fall asleep on the 2 minute drive home.

Once she napped, I was able to get the full story.
-She had tortillas (quesedillas) for lunch!
-Easton sat by her at lunch
-Coleman went to his grandma's (not sure of the details on that)
-There is a slide on the playground
-She took her shoes off inside
-She finger painted with green paint, then she washed her hands and stood on the step stool

While Charlotte played, Cailin was treated to a morning nap, at home, in her bed. Then we ran some errands. We'll figure out something more exciting to do as we get accustomed to this schedule.

I made sure to have some quality time with Thing 1 this evening which I think we both needed. All in all, it was a tough, but great day.
