Grace's 1st day of preschool...

Grace was so excited to go to school this morning, it was so CUTE! I went in to work late so I could be home & go with her on her first morning - both Mommy & Daddy! That had to be exciting for her too - having both of us there:-) Grace generally isn't a morning person, but got up easily. She had two pieces of toast but didn't "eat the tracks" aka: the crust - she never wants to eat when she gets up that early, good thing she did b/c by the time school was out she was hungry!

I did her hair - all cute, like Sarah does Ally's (they played together on Sunday). She looked so cute and grown-up, my little baby off to school. (sniff sniff) Eva was very excited when she saw I was home, but that made it worse taking her to Brenda's, she doesn't want Daddy to leave but really didn't want me to leave and this time no Grace - poor thing! Brenda said she didn't cry too long... makes me sad.

When we got to school and went in to her classroom, Grace showed her teacher her backpack & all her school supplies. The teacher then told Grace, "why don't you see if your Mommy can help you find your name badge & put it on..." Grace informed her, "I know what my name looks like.." and found it herself! I did get to help her put it on:-) So she still needs me some! Grace then went to play with the other little kids coming in, and we kissed her good-bye.

When Carla picked the girls up she let Grace call me (too sweet!). I asked Grace what she learned in school... did they talk about the letters? She said, "no" - so I asked, "what did you do?" She said, "we listened to a girl talk about a wolf who kept blowing down houses!" Too funny - I said The Three Little Pigs? She said, "yes!" I think she thought my Mommy skills were really working, I mean I knew what she did at school:-)

When she walked in the door at Brenda's the first thing she told Brenda was, "Brenda I'm hungry!" and it was only 10:30 a.m.:-) Guess she's going to have to eat more for breakfast, although it looks like they might start having snacks during class. Sounds like Grace could really use a snack!

When Little Eva saw Grace come in the door, she immediately went to the red bag & got Gracie's doggie/blankie and took them too her... how sweet. Looks like she did miss her!

All in all I would say her first day of school was a success!
