Nora Beth Starts Preschool

This is a day that Nora Beth has been waiting for for quite some time. Every morning she watches Shianne leave for school and askes "When do I get to go to school?" Well, today is the day she got to go. I have had Nora Beth on the waiting list for this program since she was 10 months old.

We arrived at school and there were many kids not wanting to leave their parents, and many parents who did not want to leave their kids. That was not the case for our family. Nora Beth quickly ran into the classroom and proclaimed it was time for us to leave since she was now busy. Already we are getting kicked out by her! She did not let the fact that she did not know any of the other kids bother her. She jumped right in and began to paint.

This is a program ran by high school students at our local high school. Fortunately one of our sitters is in this program. Nora Beth was very excited to see Delaney in her class. Nora Beth came home from her first day with several paintings and was excited to go back again.

I am so excited to see this new phase in her life. I have no expectations for "academic" learning from this program. I just want her to have fun, socialize and learn how to stand in line. She feels like such a big girl now that she gets to go to school. She was smiling all day, for that alone, it is worth sending her.
