I can't believe we're here already. The first day of preschool. I snapped this picture right before we grabbed our jackets (yes, it's still summer here, not that the weather has been noticing the calendar) and headed out the door. Anya was super excited....until about 5 blocks from school, where she commanded me to turn the car around and get elephant. Of course I couldn't, so there were big tears, which continued well inside the school building. After several unsuccessful attempts at consoling her, I had to literally pry her off me and leave. Ugh. Doing that just tears at my heart.
As expected, she got over it within a few minutes of my leaving and had a grand time. Her little report from the teachers said her mood was "curious, fun, and eager" and she was very cheerful when I came to pick her up. She played with Eva (her good friend Eva is attending the same preschool) and said she made a new friend Ella. She was a chatterbox on the drive home and wanted to tell me aaaalllll about her morning. So that's a good sign.
We're looking forward to her next class on Thursday. And we won't forget elephant this time.
