First Day of School, Part 2: Preschool

by Papa K on August 27, 2015

I remember the night before Maile’s first day of school she had one of her worst night’s sleep ever – just cried and was up all night. Lauren? Slept straight through the night until 6:30 AM (a good 30 minutes later than she normally sleeps).

There she is! Our little preschooler!

Needless to say, Lauren was ready to rock preschool. And rock she did. I think going to the school over the past couple years with Maile made her pretty comfortable and the fact that she got to meet her teachers and see the classroom on Sunday also helped. All led to her feeling right at home when we arrived. She barely acknowledged us after we arrived and set to work playing with some play-doh and the teachers. Christine and I gave her a kiss good-bye and left around 9 AM – a very smooth first day.

(Of course, when I do drop off solo tomorrow – I’m sure it won’t be quite as smooth 😉

Christine picked Lauren up on – she reported having fun and playing with friends. Apparently there were some tears when she saw Maile. But it was Maile crying, not Lauren. Of course 🙂

Oh? You're still here? I'm playing - you can leave.

Christine snapped this when she picked her up - plenty of smiles on the way out - a good sign indeed!
