Preschool is Challenging

Many of our friends and family have been wondering how Emily's preschool experience has been going. The answer is: It has been a challenge, but she is doing pretty well. She has made it through the first three days with a few tears and a few potty accidents, but the teachers tell us that she has lots of smiles and has made some friends too!

Prior to Monday, Emily had spent almost all her time with her stay-at-home Mama, so going to preschool and interacting with other kids and adults has been a very big transition for her. Not only that, but since the school doesn't allow diapers, she has had no other option but the potty during school, which is kind of stressful.

Sometimes, after she gets home from school, she works out the stress by acting crazy, dancing and jumping into her beanbag chair.Other times she just wants to curl up with Mama and rest. It's been a pretty stressful week for our family, but a big step forward too. We're proud of our little preschooler!
