To put it mildly, last year's preschool experience was painful for both Lily and I. Friday was a different story altogether!
Lily was so happy to go to school. At drop off Lily scampered off happily. Then, as she was walking through the gate, she stopped in her tracks and said in a kind of panicky voice, "Wait. Mommy!?!"
I'm not going to lie to you, my heart sank. But then Lily turned, looked at me, smiled, gave me the I Love You sign, and off she went. It was very sweet.
Friday is Show-and-tell day at school so Lily was able to bring Kentucky with her. Kentucky is a bear that Tony bought Lily several years ago when he was on a business trip to...you guessed it...Kentucky.
Lily really doesn't have a lovey. You know, that one special blanket, toy, whatever that a child is really attached to. The closest thing Lily has to a lovey is Kentucky. I think it really helped to have Kentucky along for the first day.
At pick up Lily was all smiles and bursting with things to tell me. It was a good, good day!
