Brady started her day of preschool today at a local Christian church. \u00a0She went to a couple of three day camps there this summer and she finally moved off the waiting list a few weeks ago and is officially in.<\/p>\n

This is such a bittersweet day for me. \u00a0Brady has been so excited about going when we talk about preschool, her teacher, friends, and the things she’ll do there but when I dropped her off she got so sad and started crying. \u00a0I feel so bad for her that she feels so scared and such apprehension. \u00a0She did so well at her first camp that I took her to there but after taking her to a different camp in between (and getting sick there and asking to go home) she had a much more difficult time for the second camp.<\/p>\n

I’m hopeful that once she gets comfortable and sees this is going to be a permanent part of our routine that she’ll be happier and more secure. \u00a0Thankfully she was placed with the same teacher, in the same room, and with her best buddy (Cash). \u00a0I’m optimistic that by having that consistency she’ll be much more excited and happy to go to preschool. \u00a0Unless something changes, she’ll be going to preschool every Tuesday and Thursday from 9a-1p and then we’ll probably put her in everyday preschool next year to prep her for kindergarten.<\/p>\n

This pic is from before we got to school this morning. \u00a0She was so happy to be wearing her backpack again and going to preschool. \u00a0So much so she’d didn’t want me to say the word preschool and she told me, “Don’t say that, I need to say preschool.” \u00a0My dad went to a conference last week in California and brought her back some swag – two of her favorites are a monkey she named Millard and a frog she named Fillmore. \u00a0She took Fillmore to school to keep her company so hopefully that’ll give her a little more security too since this is the first time I’ve allowed her to take a toy to school.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
