Pre-school

Raegan started preschool two weeks ago. She goes two mornings each week. She was very excited about the first day and had no reservations about us leaving. It was quick and painless for everyone. She was happy to see me when I picked her up, but not overly happy or relieved. She told me her buddy was crying the first day and she helped him feel better. She hugged him and said, "It'll be okay." He told his mom the same story. She told me she was a little sad at the end of the 2nd day and missed us. 

Drop off for days 3 and 4 looked more like this:

We both took her on Tuesday and she seemed fine when we said "bye." As the door closed behind us, we heard her crying, and she actually chased us out the door of her classroom. We got her calmed down, but she still didn't want us to go. Thursday was worse. She was not calmed down when I left, and that was really hard for me. I called a little later, and the director said she was fine and had even offered her beloved puppy to another girl who was sad. 

When I pick her up she doesn't have much to say about what she did at school. Throughout the afternoon at home I hear her sing songs she's learning. She said she's too shy to sing at right now. She was excited when they sang "London Bridge." I think it's actually a prayer song to the tune of "London Bridge." Her version is "Close your eyes and bow your hands, my fair lady." By dinner time she will tell Ryan a few things that happened. She said a boy kissed her a couple of days. His dad happens to work with Ryan, so papa bear settled it ASAP :) The boy said Raegan took play-doh from him, but "she is really pretty."
