"School"

We decided to put Willow into "school" (aka: daycare) for two days a week this school year. She started on Wednesday this week. I intended on getting a picture of her first day, but the morning was a little rushed since I tried to let her sleep as long as I could. Since Chris' job is so flexible with starting time in the mornings, we've always been able to let her sleep as long as she needs. The transition to school hasn't been as hard as we'd feared. We knew she'd be fine adjusting with the other kids, but feared she wouldn't sleep there at all, which hasn't been the case at all. Her teacher even said there were no tears at all on her 2nd day! Willow Libby is already making her parents proud... When I picked her up on Wednesday she was eating snack. I asked her to throw away her napkin and she knew exactly where the trashcan was and promptly went over to throw it away by herself. Her teacher, Ms. Frances, mentioned that she was the only one to stand up from the table after lunch and snacks and push in her chair! =) Her daily note on Thursday said, "Willow is such a sweetie! When one of her friends was crying, she went over and patted him on the back and tried to give him a hug!" Her daily note has a chart showing what and how much she ate during the day. Both days the "All" box has been checked for 90% of the food for the day (otherwise it's the "Most" box). The girl has never had a problem eating! It looks like Willlow is going to love going to school!
