Jen started teaching a couple of days each week tutoring small groups of kids to help prepare them for the statewide assessment tests that happen in a couple of months. To do this we’ve put Caroline in school a couple days a week. She’s actually in the same preschool that both Alex and Andrew attended.
We were a little nervous about how she would be leaving Jen for the first time since the boys had a hard time. I can’t even count the times that Alex was in tears after being dropped off. Well, not Caroline. She had her Elmo backpack, lunch box, sleeping mat, and she was ready to go. The very first day she just walked right up there and that was it.
I dropped her off the other day and as we pulled into the parking lot of school she got all excited and started yelling, “dool, dool”.
Here’s her picture from the first day
Yesterday she also came home with her very first piece of artwork. I guess they were talking about all the snow we’ve had the last couple of days. She was very proud of the white paint she did because she would point to it and say “paint”.
Yeah! So glad she loves it. I can’t say I’m that surprised…I sort of think she is going to be your kid that is super social butterfly.
I agree with Kelly, I too am not surprised! Third time’s a charm – no more tears!
You and Jen definitely deserve the “no more tears” variety of child. It makes one feel like a very successful parent. She just glows in the pictures. Just when I think I know who she resembles she changes.
