a bit of emotion :: preschool

tomorrow is reese's first day of preschool and i'm a bit more emotional than i thought i would be. she is very excited about her class and that all the kids are three years old. she talks all about it at home, but was acting the shiest i've ever seen her today. we went to the school to meet the teacher and see the classroom. {it was very nice that matt and i got to do that last night at the parent meeting.} she got to play a few games and explore the room. we saw the lunch room, the other classes and most important - the playground. i was fine through all of this and have been excited for reese b/c i just know she's going to love it, but this afternoon i started tearing up. and then, lost it when we opened the note she received in the mail.

it was a note from her teacher. what can i say? it touched me. reese saw me crying, but it didn't seem to phase her b/c all she could say was, "ducks don't go to school. ducks and fish swim in the pond." what could i say to that, but, "yes, honey you are right," while wiping my cheeks with a smile.



reese got to help me pack her lunch for tomorrow {pb+j, apple slices, cheetos, strawberry yogurt, apple juice and a surprise oreo cookie for dessert} and she picked out her favorite pink dress from gram. she's excited. i hope she's as excited about me leaving her there tomorrow. even if she's not, i know she'll feel comfortable quickly.
