First week of Preschool

Lilia’s first week of of preschool was very exciting! We updated her calendar on her first day and when we asked her to pick out how she felt she couldn’t decide between “happy” and “proud” so, she put both up! The cherry on top was putting up the yellow  bus that says “school” as her activity for the very first time.

She didn’t even bat an eye when we dropped her off and went to leave on her first day, she was just so excited to play with the other kids. She was equally excited to see us when we picked her up later that day which was nice too. She had already made friends with an older girl, a “panda” named Zoe who seems to have taken Lilia under her wing.

She picked and ate strawberries straight out of the garden, had a yoga class where they “put a froggy on [her] belly,” to watch her breathing. She even had her first karate class! She’s also been singing some new tunes that I guess are a result of circle time.

We arrived at the same time as her favorite teacher, Miss Lucy, on the second morning and the way both their faces lit up filled my heart with so much happiness. I just knew we made the right choice seeing how connected Lilia already feels to her teacher. By the end of the week, she still wanted to go to preschool, but she told us she wanted us to stay, so it seems like she’s having a bit of a delayed reaction to the drop off process, or she just wants to share the fun!
