Preschool

Yesterday was Lily's first day of preschool.

Again this year Lily is attending the Co-op preschool. Last year Lily and I attended the 2 year old program. That program was a once a week parent participation program. That meant I was in the classroom with Lily the entire time.

It might be a rainy, dreary day...but I'm so excited about going to school!

This year things are a little bit different. The 3 year old program is a two hour/two day a week program. Parents are involved inside and outside the classroom. Each day there are 4 parent volunteers in the classroom and then each parent also has a responsibility outside the classroom. For example, I'm the "Arts and Crafts" mom. That means I'm responsible for prepping all the craft projects that the kids do. Oh, and I'm also responsible for making the playdough.

What???

Hey...stop that!

I can hear you and there will be no laughing at my expense! Honestly, I have no idea how the most creatively challenged person on the planet was chosen to be the Arts and Crafts Mom. I'm just assuming it's punishment for something I did in a past life!

Speaking of unpleasant things...Lily and I are off to a bit of a rocky start this school year. For the last two and a half years Lily and I have been very happily joined at the hip...this whole separation thing is going to take some getting used to!

What do you mean you're leaving me in here?

I'll keep you updated with how we...I mean Lily...is doing.

Hi Mommy! Now I'm happy again!
