First Day (Week) of School

Here is a picture from Riley's first day of school. She really was excited, but did not want me to take her picture, so that is why she does not look happy. She was all ready to go and just a little whining at drop off. The day went pretty well, although she was not yet ready to try other people's cooking and play with all her new classmates. The rest of the week had it's ups and downs. Two of the days she had to be peeled off of me while screaming and other days she said goodbye with just a little sadness. She continues to settle into the routine and each day is doing a little better. She is now testing the waters with all the new kids and trying out all that preschool has. Riley has made a great adjustment and hopefully this week will be even better. At her old daycare it was just one grown up and towards the end, just Riley. Now she has 2 teachers, 2 helpers, and 15 classmates...it is going to take a little getting used to, but that is to be expected. Our little girl is growing up!!!
