First Day of Preschool

Wow! What a busy week for us! Who knew going to preschool would keep us so busy.
Hannah had a blast! She was so excited to tell us all about her day when we picked her up!

Hannah's preschool all the kids get dropped off at the door. The cars line up and your child gets out of the car and goes in Alone! This was a little traumatic for me, but I had to go with the flow. Hannah did great, when I opened her door to let her out I got a little kiss on the cheek and half hug then off she went running full speed ahead. As she was running she hollered back "Bye Mommy"! I just stood there thinking wow look how big my little baby girl is!! So I got in the car and Jeremy started to pull away...Then here come the tears...Lot's and Lot's of tears. Jeremy just kept driving and wouldn't look at me...I think he was trying to be strong for me, but I know he was sad too!

When we went back later to pick her up we were there like 15 min early and the first ones in the parking lot! We just looked at each other and laughed!! We couldn't wait to hear about her day! Once she got in the car, it was like we had a little chatter box the whole ride to McDonald's! We took Hannah out to lunch to celebrate and had a great day together!!

Awwwwww, I was laughing, because I know that is how Scott and I will be, too! LOVE all the pics! She is such a cutie! And, I LOVE her black pack.

Abby's first day is Tuesday! :( I'm so excited for her, but still not sure if I am ready! haha! I hope she does good. Other than dance and gymnastics, she hasn't had to do the whole Mommy drop off and then pick up, so I think she is a little skeptical, but we are making it sound like a BLAST! I told her Mommy has to wait with my Mommy friends, and that we can't go in because they might make a special prize for us, and I can't ruin the surprise. She bought it! haha! It's only 3 hrs. twice a week, so I am sure soon it will be the highlight of her week!

Awww, she looks so excited in all the pictures! Glad she likes it so much. And just wanted to say, she's a lucky little girl to have parents who care so much and show up in the parking lot before anyone else because you can't wait to see her and hear about her day. Reading that brought tears to my eyes! It's so hard to be away from these precious little kids!
