Elliot's 1st Day of Preschool

I cannot believe I have a child in preschool. Elliot has been so ready for this day for over a year now. But why was it that I was the one who woke up with my stomach in knots? I had all the emotions as if it were me. But she seemed cool & collected. When we got there, we hung up all of her things, I gave her a hug and kiss and then I handed her a little gift to give to her teacher. She walked into the room and that was it. Didn't look back or anything. Hopefully she didn't get scared later. I didn't stick around to find out. I was on the verge of tears before and after walking into her school. However I wouldn't allow one tear to escape. I didn't want her to see me and think she was supposed to be sad. I had to keep it together. My baby girl is growing up!

When I went to pick her up, she was all smiles. The teacher said she had a great day. When asked what her favorite part of the day was, she replied, "the playground". I guess that's normal. She did tell me all about her day. I was surprised she remembered so much. I think she'll doing really well at this school.
