First Day of Preschool

Yesterday was the first day of preschool for both of our girls. They’ve gone two days now and I can honestly say that I am so glad for both of them that they are there. Lexi was reluctant en route the first day but turned the corner as soon as she saw all of the neat things in her class to play with. She didn’t fuss one bit today! They are both having a great time and I am able to run errands and schedule meetings a few days a week knowing they are safe and well cared for, with great spaces and materials for creative free play and opportunities to observe and participate in meaningful work. I almost feel like their time at preschool is better spent than their time with me! I did take some pictures, I haven’t gotten them off the cards, between the bad weather and the inclement inclinations of the children of photographers, they aren’t much to look at anyway. Life keeps marching forward. I am the only one not in school, but as Kate told a friend yesterday, “Mommy works hard at home.” It made me smile!
