Abby's (and mine) first day of preschool


Ever since we moved here three years ago I have wanted to teach preschool out of our house. Now that I am not pregnant, out of the infant stage, and have one child in school full time, I decided that this was the year to do it. Today was the first day and we had a lot of fun. The kids were super quiet at first, but it didn't take them too long to warm up. Abby "gets" to be one of the students, which will most likely be the biggest challenge for me, as today she is the only kid who cried! But I did expect this- I think she will be fine, it will just take her sometime to get used to the idea of having to share me (and the things in her house!) A couple of Abby's friends from church are in the class so I think this will help her because she is so excited to be with them.

My favorite line of the day was when I offered the children either water or milk for their snack and one little child said, "I will have coke please." Too cute.
