First day of preschool

Terefech had her first day preschool this past Tuesday. She is attending the same preschool Declan did so she was at least a little familiar with it. Her teachers had also come by the house the previous week and played with her so that they weren't strangers when she went to school (one of the many reasons we love this place!). Her school does what they call ease-in. The first day is half the class and only for an hour. Next day is the whole class for an hour. After that, they add a half hour each day until they are at a full day. I think it is perfect for Terefech. Although she is all about school and thinks it is the best thing ever, I think increasing over some time is good for her.

Terefech is always excited to try new things and go new places. At times, I worry that she isn't attached that well since she feels free to run off to school and leave us. Then you get the biggest hug when you pick her up and I rethink that a little. I think she just loves new experiences and certainly anything Declan has done. It will be wonderful for her to make new friends, learn the language of play, and once again reinforce that we always come back for her.
Jumping right in.

She looks so happy! And, I'm happy for all of you. Those welcome back hugs have got to be the best!
