2-hour trial

Today’s preschool visit was for two hours from 3pm-5pm.  We tried to put her down for a nap prior to the visit but she just laid there in bed for about an hour.  So of course, on the walk over to the school, she fell asleep in the stroller.  She slept for about 30 minutes on our walk and then another 30 minutes in the lobby.  That’s one of the doors to her classroom in the background of the photo.  Around 3:20, she woke up on her own and agreed to go to the classroom with Mama.  Before heading in, she went potty and then Mama helped her to the rug for story time and said a quick goodbye.

When Mama came back, she was found playing at the craft table with 4 other girls.  Her expression was so funny.  Too bad the photo is out of focus.  She did a lot of cutting this afternoon and the teacher reported that she did great today.  As expected, Janie did a lot of observation but what was unexpected was that she didn’t cry and she also refused the snack that teacher offered her.  Instead, she said, “I’ll eat my snack at home.”  Funny girl.  The teacher also said that she refused to let the teacher take her mug shot for her cubby.

We are so proud of our big girl being so brave today.  We have another 2-hour visit tomorrow and then her first official day of school is Monday 8/3.  We are hopeful that the transition will be just as successful.
