Like many of you out there, I too sent my oldest to her first day of preschool yesterday. But I was suprisingly ok with the whole thing! Lyss has been talking about going to MISS LEANNE'S preschool for about a year now!(Although when we got there yesterday she did kinda squeeze onto my hand....just a little bit! Maybe that was for my benefit!) All of her friends who are a year older went to it last year and raved! Also Miss Leanne is in our ward. I guess that is very comforting to me......I know her pretty well, and most of the kids in her class are in our ward or were in our ward or we know. So I guess this made it not feel so much like sending my little LYssie into the big bad world. Now next year may be a different story! So her schedule is 3 days a week for 3 hours a day. Just enough to help break me in for all day kindergarten. :(
The entrace to the preschool is through the garage, so when I go pick her up the teacher has them all lined up like this waiting when she opens the door. Sooooo cute! Then she dismisses them when she knows that the person picking up is aware of the child coming.
Walking to the car with her friend. She's kinda short!!! And she looks so big!
- She LOVES being with friends! She is still my super social butterfly!
- She has the most intense, expressive eyes! When she is running.....any kind of running......her eyes get so intense like she's running the most important race of her life!
- She plays "house" ALL the time! I can remember doing that too! As soon as she gets with her friends, boy or girl, she says "Do you want to be the mom/dad?"
- She is such a good big sister! The other night I tried having her and Hallie sleep in the same room. Hallie started crying and Lyssa said "Don't cry.....listen to my song." and she stared singing to her. Hallie stopped crying and Lyssie sang to her. So sweet.
- Her favorite show is GOod Luck Charlie
- Her favorite food is probably spaghetti.
- Her favorite treat just might be Oreos....like her momma!!!
