First Day of School - PreK

I am not going to lie, I was worried about Brooke starting school. Even in the last weeks of school last year, she never really wanted to go. I am pretty sure that every morning, I had to hand her over to her teacher's arms because she wouldn't walk in. This year, in Preschool, they have a car line. I didn't know how she would do with walking in on her own. We met her teacher, and she seemed comfortable with her. We had also gone to orientation for an hour, and she was fine staying there. She even said, "That was so quick of a school day!" But, all those things considered, I still wasn't feeling super confident. The morning of school, she said one time that she didn't want to go, but I distracted her with fruit snacks (yes, fruit snacks at 8:45am). We also went outside and took first day pictures like we did with Adilyn and Kacy, and she felt so proud and grown up.We got there early, and we were waiting in the dropoff line. She was unbuckled and hanging out in the car. I put her nametag on, and we started talking about her "squirrel" class. She seemed like she was doing pretty good. I was still nervous about what would happen when a strange lady opened the door and asked her to come out. We got up there, and it was totally fine! I kissed her, she jumped out and walked right in. It was such a relief! I got a little weepy because I was so happy that she was excited. Let's keep the excitement going! Rough morning dropoffs are the worst!!!
