This morning was definitely not what I expected! Ironically, the least emotional part of my morning was leaving Bella at the door...that actually went off without a hitch, and Bella reacted as though she were being dropped of at nursery.
I think the most emotional thing for me was that Bella's teacher is not very "feel-goody." I may look back at this by the end of the year and have a completely different point of view, but I was a little disappointed that she wasn't a little more gentle with the parents. Does that sound weird? I mean, I think she will be a wonderful teacher for Bella, and I am confident that Bella will actually learn new things this year instead of just being babysat, but I wish the teacher had come across as a little more understanding of the fact that I was leaving my 2-year old in "school" for the first time.
There were good things, too, though! I didn't get a ton of pictures because I still had the other two kids with me, but here are the ones I got...especially for the Grandmas!
On the calendar for weeks! We've been so excited!
I mean, come on! How could I not include this picture?
Making sure everything is in her school bag.

Impatient and independent! We can't wait for everything this year will bring!

ok, first of all, this makes me want to cry, and I am not her mother. She is BEAUTIFUL,Katie. you did a great job naming her! The teacher thing is understandable if she doesn't have kids yet. when i taught pre-k, i never understood how parents were so weepy when they left their kids at school. boy, did i have a lot to learn. hopefully, it was just an off day for her.
second of all, it makes me sad that i didn't get madd in a pre-k program. i was just couldn't get it all together in time. oh well, he is a boy and probably needs another year anyway.
