Mother's Day Out 2011 at Windwood

Lia is going to Mother's Day out 2 days a week this year, and we switched to a new school so she could be in a class with her friends Sage, Luke, Emily and Colt. She will go on Mondays and Wednesdays from 9:00 to 2:30. Last year, she went on Mondays only from 9:00 to 1:00, so it will be an adjustment for her to take her nap at school this year.

We had open house a couple of weeks ago and got to go in and meet the teacher, Mrs. Julia. Then, today was Lia's first day of school. We had been talking about it a lot in preparation, and she was very excited to go play with new toys and said she would not cry and I would give her a sucker after school (my little negotiator!) When I dropped her off, she held it together until the last second when I walked out the door, then I heard her lose it. When I went back to pick her up this afternoon, she was sitting in the circle singing songs. She burst into tears and ran to me as soon as I walked in the door : ( The teacher said that she was sad off and on throughout the day, but she enjoyed going on the playground and did participate in a couple of activities and took her nap fine. I'm sure next week will go better...
