Lucy the Preschooler

Is this not the cutest preschooler you've ever seen?

 

We printed out this cute first day sign and took some photos before heading off for her first day of preschool last Thursday, Sept. 6th. 

 

She was super excited and more than ready to give me all sorts of fun poses!

 

 

When we got there, she didn't want to take photos by the fun "Back to School" sign.  No, she preferred this little tree.  Whatever you'd like Miss Lucy! :)

 

Sammy wasn't terribly interested though in the pictures.  At this point Lucy was still really excited about preschool. See her backpack? It was mine when I was little.  Fun, huh? :)

 

As we got closer to the actual door though, she got a bit nervous.

 

We went inside, signed her in, hung up her backpack, and found her cubbie, which had a fun name tag inside.  That cheered her up for another picture.

"Oh, wait Mom! I need to pose!" hehe! She was great up until the point where I had to leave, then the tears and the clinging started.  The teachers were great though and helped her calm down.  She cried for 5-10 minutes but later said she had a lot of fun.  We had the second day yesterday and there were no tears at all.  I'm so glad.  My whole reason for putting her in preschool is for the social aspect.  Lucy is shy and a bit anxious. My goal is for her to learn to make friends, to learn to be in school, and to learn to take direction from other adults.  So far, so good!
