9.7.11 First Day of Pre School

Alyssa was so excited to go to school. When she saw the kids start lining up for the elementary school bus, she had to get her back pack. She put it on and said hi to her friends at the bus stop and then starting walking down the hill towards her school saying "School". It was too early to go, so I told her we had to go in and go potty before we left. She ran in the house pulled down her pants and sat down on the potty. (Which she never does, it usually is like pulling teeth.) As soon as she was done washing her hands she ran and grabbed her backpack and was trying to put it on. She was running to school she was so excited. She was excited when we go there and was happy to play with toys. I was slowly walking away because she was doing great. But almost immediately after leaving she started screaming. I stood outside the door for 30 minutes until I heard the screaming for "Mama" to stop. The teacher kept checking back with me, giving me the thumbs up and waving. . . .It was so hard to leave her!!! I feel I should have stayed longer. . . but she seemed to be doing fine. Let's see if she is willing to go back tomorrow. Only 1 more hour and I can pick her up!!!
