Yesterday was Kaylee's first day of preschool! She is attending a "mommy's morning out'"program put on by a local high school. The high school offers a 'early childhood education' program for the high school students and those 2 classes teach the 'mommy's morning out program'. It is a really cool program! It runs Tuesday-Thursday from 8:30-12:45. So it isn't all week or all day, which is a good transition for her (And me!).So her first day went very well- she was super excited! She had a friend, Corbin, who has been in our 'mom's playgroup' for the last year and a half that is attending 'school' with her. They met outside and got to walk in together- and they really enjoy that!

When she walked in she said "WOW!" and ran off to start playing! She played with the toys, started a painting project and then looked at me and said "Its okay mommy, you can go now!" Needless to say, there were no tears on her part! I guess she is really more grown up than I thought! *sniff sniff*

Michael wasn't quite sure what to think when we got home. He kept walking around saying "where's sissy momma?" But after a while, I think he was enjoying having the toys all to himself!
When I picked Kaylee up from school- the teacher, Mrs. Bowen, said she did great, and that her and Corbin stayed together all day. Kaylee told me all about what they did and learned! And she couldn't wait to go back!
I can't wait to see how it unfolds as the school year goes on!
