Just as I had anticipated, preschool was a hit! For 90 minutes, Avery was in her own fairytale land with no obvious intention to ever leave! She appeared comfortable from our first step out of the car, running excitedly to the preschool doors. The moment we walked in, she was elated!
Her eyes did the talking for her: "What?! Do I get to play with all of this!?!"
For the next hour she played and played! She held less than usual concern for my "whereabouts" and found contentment playing by herself or with the nearest toddler. She adored the dress up area, finding the prettiest green hat to model. I casually let her know another little girl liked her hat so she headed to the coat rack immediately, bringing a pretty yellow one for her new friend.
When the teacher joined us while playing with play-doh, she was offered a very yummy pretend play-doh pancake. To which she replied, "thank you!"; then left the table and pushed in her chair. What?? Obviously that makes me parent of the year! ;)
Her eyes lit up even more for the announcement of "snack time"! That is definitely one thing Music Class does not have ;) As the teacher went around to each child, singing them a welcome song, I watched her in a new found amazement. So proud. So curious as to her next move.
I know Algebra and U.S. History are just a couple blinks away but for now, I happily & presently watch her first steps into her school years. Words I can't believe I am typing.
Wow. Preschool sure works up the appetite! |
Welcome Avery! |
Time for stamps! |
