First Day of School

Grace started school this month. Actually the first day was her birthday. She missed the deadline for kindergarten so she started preschool. I drove up to the door and the teacher came to car, unbuckled her and she hoped out turned back at me and with a big smile on her face she said "bye mom, I love." I think it was more traumatic for me than her. She loves her teacher Miss Robin. I hope that she will stayed challenged seeing how she is a little older than the rest of her class. Everyone I know who have children that were in the same situation as Grace all have told me that it is better to let her be the oldest. I hope so. At her preschool orientation her teacher was listing things they were going to be learning, for example, the Pledge of Allegiance, days of the week, months of the year. I thought to my self, hmm, Grace already knows this stuff. Her class is divided into 3 skill levels so I am confident that she will do fine. I did opt for the 5 day class so that she could get a little more out of it. So far she has really enjoyed it. She is so proud to show us what she worked on each day in school. I still can't believe my little baby girl is in school. Ok I need to stop now, my eyes are tearing up and I can't see the screen.
