Ellie's First Day of Preschool

I was afraid I would cry or Ellie would cry. We walked into her classroom and she found her nametag and sat in the circle at the front of her classroom. She was tracing the letters on her nametag and from time to time she would look up to assure me that she was a big girl and that she was not crying. After a few minutes I told her that I was leaving. She asked me to stay. I told her she needed to listen to what the teacher was saying. When she turned to face the teacher, I left. I worried about her but when I went to pick her up after school she told me she didn't cry at all. Yay! When I asked her if some kids did cry, she said yes. She thinks that maybe next time she can give them a high five or a hug to make them feel better.

Here is Ellie after class excited about completing her first day.
