School Success!

Gloria had a fantastic first day at school today! When I dropped her off this morning, I was planning to stay with her for a while until she settled. She actually warmed up much faster than I thought she might. She was a little overwhelmed by all the excitement but was intrigued at the same time. After taking me by the hand and exploring the room together, she was ready to play!

When I told Gloria I was leaving, she gave me a kiss and hug and said I love you! Then she went to the window with the teacher to say good-bye. When I got outside the building, she wasn't at the window anymore! haha She had started playing with some other kids. The teacher managed to get her attention long enough to say say bye to me but then she went right back to playtime. I guess she was doing all right! :)

When Tom got the report from Gloria's teacher, she said that Gloria did really well! The only thing she struggled with was nap time, which we expected. It is tough for a young kid to get used to sleeping on mats. Hopefully she'll adjust quickly.

When we asked Gloria about her day, she told us about her friend Rose who is "2 months old." That is what she said anyway. We're a bit confused but we'll find out about Rose on Thursday when she goes back to school. She also said she dressed up like Cinderella today! Oh boy! I know our little girl was in heaven! :)

So, it was a good first day for Gloria! She did far better than I did! I was a wreck all day today. Even with checking in and finding out she was fine, I was still worried! I am relieved that she did so well! We are so proud of our little GEM!


All ready for her first day of Pre Pre-school! :)
