First Day of Preschool

I'm still can't believe that my little Morgan Jane is old enough to go to preschool. Today was the big day. She had a few tears at breakfast saying she was "nervous" about going to school. On the drive to school she was pretty quiet and I was wondering how she would react when we arrived. My biggest fear was she would cling to me and cry hysterically. I have been praying for weeks that wouldn't happen. I knew that if she had a hard time with me leaving it would break my heart and give me anxiety while I'm away from her. Thank goodness my prayers were answered. She quietly walked into her room and was greeted by her wonderful teacher. We love Mrs. Howerton. She has a personality that instantly clicked with Morgan. She is so caring and has a big heart. After I took a bunch of pictures we found a seat for Morgan by a couple girls she has met through story time and music class. She quietly said, "don't leave Mommy." I reminded her that I would be back soon and we would celebrate with a cheeseburger and ice cream (her favorite.) She said okay, I kissed her good-bye and walked out. I peeked back in when she couldn't see me and she was sitting quietly playing with blocks at her seat. I was happily surprised she did so well. When I picked her up three hours later a smiling and bouncing Morgan ran up to me with a big hug. "Mommy, I'm not nervous anymore. Preschool is fun!" I loved hearing those words! I know she is going to have a great year! :)
Mrs. Howerton told me that Morgan was a good example to others on how to listen and follow directions. Of course the teacher in me is proud of her good behavior in school. I hope it continues through the years. We love our BIG GIRL!
