First day of School!

Today was a big day in our home...it was the first day of preschool for Bailey. She's going to a local church for a few mornings a week. They had a "meet-n-greet" earlier this week, so Bailey got to meet her teacher, see her room and play on the school's playground (her favorite part :). I took some pictures of her at school then as I figured it would be less stressful then today. This morning she woke up excited to go to her "big girl school". We got dressed, ate breakfast, she put on her Minnie Mouse backpack and we headed off. When we got to school, Momma put on a brave face, took her to her room, kissed her goodbye and pushed her towards some kids that were playing. Then made it (almost) out the classroom door before crying. The church has a "cafe" area with Wi-fi so I was actually able to stay (I brought the laptop) and get some work done. I was able to hear Bailey's class and watch her on the playground with the other kids (I was careful not to let her see me). She did really, really well and while I think the next week or two may be an adjustment for her (for us both)...I think she'll end up enjoying it.

Her school schedule consists of learning time, playtime, outdoor time and snack time. On Wednesday they have library and music class and on Friday's they have chapel. I've also signed her up for Ballet on Friday's after school. Bailey use to do Ballet at a local community center, but we stopped that about 6 months ago. She's excited to start again :)

Such a big day!


Ready to go this morning!
