Yes, yes, the first day of preschool was two weeks ago almost. Yes, I am finally posting some photos along with a TOP TEN!!
Basic info:
Date: Thursday, August 19, 2010
School: Lincoln School
Teacher: Miss Crystal (Rubbo)
Classroom: #12
1. Taking the pre-requisite pre-leaving the house pre-school portrait with backback. Where does this kid get her cheesiness? Blaine, probably.
2. Arriving at school kinda later than originally desired. School starts at 8:30. We got there about 8:25. Again, I blame Blaine.
3. Having Miss Crystal as her teacher just puts a whole layer of comfort over everything. Crystal's parents are awesome & totally involved in all things Soledad. Her Dad was my go-to man to help me fix/install/troubleshoot all kinds of things at the Soledad Pool. And they did water aerobics! Super awesome connection.
4. Attending class with Olivia & Austin. (note: Austin's super-fly simultaneous hand-holding of Olivia & kissing of Jane).
5. Finding her name on the table: I THOUGHT my kid was a genius, however she had a difficult time finding her name tag. I blame Blaine.
6. No crying. Blah, blah, Jane's well-adjusted, blah, blah. I wanted a little resistance - you know, just so I know she'll miss me. But? Nuthin'.
7. Going out to breakfast sans kids. Jamie Bellew and I enjoyed a hot meal at First Awakenings with no interruptions, time to actually have a conversation, and glorious half-caf coffee!
8. Being at work on time.
9. Blaine graciously bringing Jane by the store after picking her up so I could find out how her fist day was.
10. Hearing Jane tell me in response to the classic "what did you do in school today?" with an ultra-classic "nothing". Ha!
Love ya Miss Jane,
Mommy
P.S. Just joshin' about blaming Blaine! If I blame him for the bad, then I have to give him credit for the good: like Jane's curly hair, her sunny personality, or her intelligent ability to identify the entire alphabet. Those are CLEARLY traits from me.
