Today was AMELIA's FIRST day of school!!!! She is starting pre-k this year. Yes, there were some tears...when I came to pick her up and had to explain to her that (a) she had to leave, and (b) should could not take the school supplies with her. She cried most of the way home. Her teacher came for a home visit today, and her primary question...what's the best way to handle Amelia when she throws a fit. Oh, wouldn't life be so much easier if I actually knew the answer to that question!!!
I think that Amelia is going to have a great time in pre-K. She has a great teacher, and she definitely wants to be there. She has been asking me for a year when she would get to start school, and I told her that it would be after my birthday. It worked pretty well until the day of my birthday, and then she took the statement very literally and thought that she would go to school on my birthday. It has been a long week waiting!
It was harder than I thought it would be to leave our eldest at school, but I know that it is for the best and that she will have a great year!
