First Day of Preschool

The first day of preschool for Olivia! She is attending a school called Early Learner's Enrichment, and she goes 3 mornings per week. This will be a work in progress for all of us. It is shocking to Joe and I to have a school age child (!) and it is shocking to Olivia for obvious reasons. As we were preparing her for school, she was very excited and couldn't wait to attend. Then we informed her that we would not be with her at the school and suddenly everything changed. The teachers assured us that she did not cry for a very long period of time (some at the beginning and again at the end), and she did not appear to be traumatized when I picked her up. However, Olivia is not a very good reporter on her day, as according to her all she did was "play play play with a ball" while her teacher assured us that she did do more than that. At least she is thrilled with her Dora backpack as you can see in the following picture.


After school we took her for a special McDonald's lunch, and as an extra surprise the ice cream man was in our neighborhood at night for a treat.
