For the past two years, you've been watching Guin go off to preschool and it's been all I can do to keep you from following her into the classroom. You have been ready for play, discovery and learning for a long time now, and it was so exciting today to finally take you to your first day of preschool.
We stood outside the classroom waiting for your other classmates to get there. You towered over the rest of the two and three year old kids as they arrived, I don't know if any of them realized you were in their class because you look older. When Miss Nichole opened the door to let you in, you bee lined to the toys before I could make my way to the door. The other kids were so hesitant to come in, they were shy and clinging to their parents. You walked in with determined and excited eyes and you knew exactly what to do. You played with dolls and trucks, in your dinosaur shirt and pigtails you weren't about to fall into any stereotype.
You walked up to the table with nametags and to your teachers' surprise you selected the one that started with W - the one that had your name on it. You are already sprinting where most kids your age are crawling. But that's always been how you've done things.
So here's to your newest adventure, your first year of preschool. I'm excited to watch you learn and grow!
Love, Mom
