Okay, so seriously when I say "I have been thinking of this day since I was pregnant", I'm not joking. One of the first things I thought about when I was pregnant was that Preslei HAS to get accepted into the First United Methodist Church's preschool program. Like, it was seriously my mission. Not sure if I'm partial b/c my boss and his wife were part of the group of parents that organized and started the program back years ago or what, but this is a phenomenal program. Anywho....fast forward about 2 1/2 years and well, today, Preslei started her 1st day at FUMC Preschool. I have talked to her for the past few weeks about school and how much she is going to learn about shapes, colors, numbers, Spanish, and most importantly, Jesus and how much he loves you. I've been trying to teach her "Jesus loves me" but she is still insisting on "Rain Rain Go Away" and "Happy Birthday" as her favorite songs right now. Last night was open house and she was so excited to see Welles and Grace. She and Welles go to the same sitter so they love each other already and Preslei and Grace have been friends since last summer. Welles and Grace are cousins so I think the three of them will be life-long friends. When we got home last night, she was sooooo excited to start "stool" (as she says) that she couldn't go to sleep! Needless to say, that made for a very rought start this morning. But, as soon as we pulled up she started saying "We here Mommy, we here! We at my stool!" She was a little bashful at first but as soon as she saw Grace and Welles, she was fine!
Where has the time gone?! I miss the days of constant swaddling, bottles and cries.
Look Mommy, its my classroom! :)
(and no, she didn't really say that but I'm sure that's what she was thinking! LOL)
She finally let me take a picture of her smiling in the school bathroom! HA!
Last night at open house....I LOVE this picture! Preslei and Grace!

ReplyDeleteAwww! I think they all will be lifelong friends too! We'll just have to get Grace out here at Whigham School when they get older! I was also determined to get Welles into FUMC preschool. Braxton was part of the very first 2 year old class, and went through the 2 and 3 year old programs. We loved it, and I know Welles will too.
ReplyDeleteWelles loves Preslei, and he asked me today when I picked him up, "Where Pessie mama?" Thank you so much for picking him up for us! You are a lifesaver!
