Yesterday morning Sarah started Pre-Kindergarten. We spent all weekend talking about it so that she would be excited about going. This plan actually worked! She couldn't wait to get to school and asked to go about every five minutes. It was really nice because there was no struggle to get her ready.
When we arrived to school I sat in the car for a moment and truly thought about just taking her back home. Then I realized that she would have to start school sometime and that I can't keep her my baby forever. So, Sarah and her entourage (me, Aaron, Evan, and my mom) walked inside.
Her classroom was kid friendly and the teacher had laid out some coloring sheets and brand new crayons so the kids could color. We put away Sarah's backpack and lunch box (filled with a peanut butter sandwich, cheddar bunnies, and grapes) in her cubby. The teacher led us to her seat and she began to color.
We waited about 5 minutes and then kissed her goodbye. Then we waited around a few more minutes until she was distracted again before we left the room. All three of us waited in the hall so we could have one more peek inside the classroom to make sure she was okay. Thankfully she was doing great.
