First day of school - starting Parents' Morning Out

I was able to secure a spot at a nearby Methodist church's Parents' Morning Out program two days/week for our little goose. And...she loves it!

Yesterday was her first day and I was a ball of nerves. Luckily, everything was perfect for setup; an early nap (up at 9:30), morning BMs, and a good mood added greatly to the day's potential for success. Sure enough, she made friends, had a ball, and didn't even cry except for one time when she was accidentally shoved down by a bigger kid. What a big girl, right?! It's great to go pick her up and see her happily playing with other kids.

Today was not quite as perfect - no nap, no poops, and a bad last night meant that she was a little more sensitive today. But her teachers said she was still really, really good - and is doing so much better than most kids in their first program away from home. I'm very proud of her, just like I'm proud of the trunkful of consignment goods and new haircut I was able to get this morning while she was at "playtime".

Oh, and they sat her at a kiddie-sized table in a chair for lunch and she did not topple out of it. Guess I'll need to make an IKEA run sometime soon!
