Monte and I dropped Isabella off this morning for her very first day of preschool. Don't let the picture deceive you, she was not very happy! She has been excited about starting preschool up until the last couple of days, she got really nervous. She cried last night and this morning because I couldn't go with her. She was crying a little bit when we left, but as we were leaving I saw her teacher giving her a hug. I felt so bad, and was worried about how she was doing. We really like her teacher, we know her from church, and she's been teaching preschool for 27 years. She had told us last week that we should send a picture of our family with Isabella to keep at school. She also said that if it didn't work out, she would call us to come get her and we would just try again another time. Not long after I got home this morning her teacher called with good news. She said she was doing great, talking up a storm, and adjusting better than most! *Huge sigh of relief* Her teacher wondered if she was in gymnastics because she recognised another little girl, and was playing really well with her. I'm so glad she is in gymnastics so that she knows some other kids. There is also one other little boy in her class that she knows from my Mom's group / Bible Study. I am so thankful that the teacher took time to call and let me know how she is doing! I was nervous for her because she's never done anything like this, except for gymnastics, but I always stay and watch her there. We're sending her 3 days a week instead of the 4 that it is offered - Mon, Tues, Thurs, and it's from 8:00 - 11:30. Jaymes naps almost that whole time, so now I am going to have to adjust to actually having some free time during the day! The possibilities are endless, I think I'm going to try and get as much prep work for supper done that I can do ahead of time, clean, hopefully get back on a workout routine, and maybe I'll have more time to update the blog!
The teacher asked that each child bring their favorite stuffed animal on the first day. She's all about Clifford right now!

wow, she looks so grown up! I'd never know she was nervous or upset. And what a great teacher to call and reassure you like that!
She is so pretty! I agree, awesome teacher to call and reassure you. She must be good at what she does! Can't wait to hear stories of how Miss Isabella is enjoying preschool.
