First Day...a success for the most part. Taylor was excited to go to school on Friday. She wore a new outfit that we picked out at Costco the day before and she wanted to wear her new backpack to the car and into the school. She told me this morning that we were going to go to Joshua's school, and I told her that we were going to her new school. I think that she thought that she would be going to Covenant as well. We got her to school, and she walked up to the doors and then wanted to be picked up. I carried her into the school and she wanted to play on the playground right away. I told her that her class would probably play outside, although today was a 2 hour day to get the kids used to the new routine and class. When the three of us got into the room, Joshua immediately made himself at home playing with the toys and the kids. Taylor stood there and did not want her backpack to be taken off. She looked around the room and her nose began to get red as she was thinking about crying. Joshua and I stayed there for another 10 minutes trying to get her acclimated to the room. Joshua didn't want to leave! Once she seemed to start to settle in, I told Joshua that it was time to go. She tried to grab my hand to start walking out with us and I kissed her head and told her that we would come get her soon. She then started to get upset and the teacher grabbed her hand as Joshua and I headed out the door. I waited down the hall for a minute to see if she would stop crying, and thankfully, she did. I felt so sad for her because I didn't want her to think that I was leaving her in some strange place all by herself. When we came to get her, she was really excited to see us and her teacher said that she settled down quickly after we left and was fine the rest of the time. So, I would say that her first day was a success! And no accidents either! Taylor didn't use the potty while she was there, but she had a dry pull up when I came and got her.
