Preschool

Last Monday was Lainy's first day of preschool! Can you believe it? I'm still pinching myself...

She looked adorable her first day of school. She was SO excited to go. We anxiously waited for her bus in the pouring rain. It pulled up and we got a quick picture, then I put her on the bus with very mixed feelings.

 The only shadow of doubt I saw from Lainy was when I gave her a hug and kiss goodbye. Her eyes got really big, she pressed her lips together, and swallowed hard, determined to be okay. As I turned around and walked off the bus, I thought, "What am I doing?! She's not big enough for this!" Nevertheless, I choked back the lump in my throat and managed a big smile as Leah and I blew her kisses as she drove away.

Leah and I didn't quite know what to do with ourselves. Leah kept asking me, "Lainy go?" Our morning went pretty slow and we were thrilled to welcome Lainy off the bus a few hours later.

She had a wonderful day. I knew she would! We're so happy for her! She has a great teacher, a fun "playcourt" the class visits twice a day, and a new best friend who also happens to be one of our neighbors. So fun.

We all enjoy Lainy's reports of her day at school every evening. (Brad particularly likes the stories about a little boy in the class who wears a superman suit every day and apparently has a lot of energy.)

And, now that we've gotten used to it, the few hours Leah and I have alone in the morning are pretty nice!

We love you Lainy!
