1st Day of Preschool

The day finally arrived! Anna was beyond excited! I hope she's always that excited for school. She had her first day of preschool for the year yesterday and loved it. She's been counting down the days for awhile now. She was so excited she didn't even eat all of her lunch and wanted to finish it when we got home. Wish I could be a fly on the wall in her classroom. Daddy and I both wrote her special notes. I put one in her lunch bag and Daddy left his on her placement so she'd get it at breakfast. He reminded her to obey and listen to her teacher. I told her to remember that the teacher was in charge before we left the house for preschool. I'm sure she'd love to "teach" the class herself, especially enjoying telling the other boys and girls what to do. She's a natural born leader. :) Such a stinker! She cracked me up getting out of the van, putting her back pack on the ground, yanking up the handle, and marching towards the building. I was not prepared for her to be on a mission quite like that. It was obvious she knew how to use that back pack! Anna seems to like her teacher, Ms. Joy. She did tell me after school that Ms. Joy wasn't very nice because she told her "no" when Anna asked if she could sit on her lap when Ms. Joy was reading the story to the class. I had to hold back a chuckle and explain that it wasn't fair for Ms. Joy to hold her and not the other kids. Audrey cried when we left Anna. Mommy was fighting back tears too. I think Audrey wanted to stay and play. Thankfully Anna is very adaptable and has no problem with me leaving her anywhere. It would be awful if she cried when I left her. I'd be a wreck then too. When I went to pick her up, she was so excited to tell me about her day and I was so excited to see her!! 9 a.m. - 1 p.m. is a long time!
