First Day of School

Eva started Preschool today.

I am so proud of this girl.  She has been so excited about starting school. She woke up this morning and was walking around the house singing, "It's the first day of school. It's the first day of school todaaaaay!"  Last night she picked out her outfit and tried it on to make sure everything looked just right.  We walked to school and she talked the whole way there.  I was there all day, because I'm working at the preschool this year, and she didn't ask me for anything.  She was completely fine on her own. 

 

 

She told me that she made lots of new friends but only knew three names.  I asked her what her favorite part of the day was and she said, "Snack time! No! It was playing outside!  That was my favorite!"



We walked home and I noticed she was moving a lot slower.  I asked her if she was tired and wanted to hold my hand and she said, "No...but I think I'm going to lean on your leg while we walk."  I asked her if she wanted me to hold her back pack and she said, "No. I can do it."  A few steps later she asked, "Momma, can you take my backpack? It's making me hot."


I honestly didn't know how I would do on this day.  Being at the school, I figured I would be fine and for the most part I was.  The hardest moment of the day was when we left Aubrey at Mom and Dad's.  Eva gave Aubrey a hug and a kiss (no one told her to) and said, "I'm gonna miss you my Aubrey girl."  and that's when I almost lost it.
