O Finally Gets her Turn

O has been waiting two long years for this day! She cried on CK's first day of Pre-K two years ago, but NOT today. She was ALL smiles.

She was so excited to go to school today. She went right into her classroom gave Miss M and Miss L great big hugs! (It's nice she has the same teachers as CK did!) She knew exactly what to do....run over to a table and play a game, play with Play-Doh or do a lacing card. She didn't care if we were still there or not. CK, being the good big-sister that she is, tried to help O, but O didn't seem to need any help. She was in HER classroom, with HER teachers and was ready to learn and make new friends!

Mommy and Daddy did great too. I took lots of pictures....helps me not to cry. It worked. I was a little teary eyed walking to the car, but didn't cry. CK cried for me. Poor thing. She was fine, until we were in the car on the way to bring her to school and she started to get sad. I asked her what was wrong, she said "I wanted to stay with O." and started crying. My two sensitive girls. O cried for CK's first day of school, now CK cried for O's. Daddy just smiled and thought, great, I live with three sensitive, emotional girls!

NOW WE WERE FREE.....what to do with three hours! All to ourselves......hmmmmm, what to do. Well, I sat and had a cup of coffee with a danish, C had brought home for me the other night and I watched the Today Show. Haven't been able to do that in five years. C was on the computer for a little while, then went shooting. After five minutes of TV I paid bills....OH BOY.....it was very nice actually. I was able to get my things done without being disturbed every five minutes and not at 10pm (half asleep). It was great! This is going to be great. I hope to get my office cleaned out, catch up on paperwork.....so many things on my "to do" list!

When I picked up O from school she told me all about her day. She made new friends, road the tricylce at recess, did a worksheet and listened to stories. Her favorite thing she did on her first day of school was art! That's our girl.
