Backtracking- September 12th: First Day of Preschool!

September 12th- Buba and Tiny were very, very excited about their first day of preschool. Tiny assured me that it was not necessary for me to park and come into her classroom, but given the amount of things we needed to bring in, I insisted that I was going in. Still, I didn’t stay any longer than was necessary, and not a tear was shed from any of us when I said my quick good-byes. On day two, I let Tiny have her way, and I just pulled up to the curbside drop off area in front of the school. Both kids went willingly with their teacher, and I don’t think either one even said goodbye to me. Since day two, we’ve done curbside drop off every morning, as well as curbside pick up a handful of times.

I don’t get a ton of information from the kids about what they do at preschool, but I do know that Tiny is loving that she gets to cut with scissors, and Buba enjoys playing with two girls (fraternal twins) most days. Tiny is usually the one to report which of her classmates cried or made naughty choices, and Buba is usually the one who shares the new songs that they’ve learned. They’ve both loved doing art projects and have come home covered in paint and/or markers more than once.

The first week of preschool, their school days were just 2 hours long, but on the 19th, they began their usual 9am-12pm schedule. On Monday, I will have my first day as a parent helper. We are all loving this!
