On Tuesday, Avery had her first day of pre-school. Since she's only two and a half, we are doing a 'me-and-my-parent' class that meets once a week. I was very excited for her and hoping it would go well!
Her class started at 9:30, and we got ready quickly so that we could take a few pictures beforehand. She was happy to wear her new backpack, but not as happy to take pictures haha. I didn't want to upset her too much so these were the best I could get. We arrived a few minutes early and met some of the other people in the class. I talked with another mom there who is pregnant and also due in November, and her son was born in February just like Avery!
Once class started, Avery did really great and I was really proud of her! She interacted with the other kids, participated in the songs and movements, and easily transitioned from one activity to the next!
The theme of the day was colors, so we did lots of activities with colors. She made a little butterfly with coffee filters, markers, and water, and we watched a science experiment with milk, paint, and dish soap in a large pan that caused a swirling reaction of colors. (She wore a 'paint shirt' during the craft so she didn't get her clothes messy.)
After craft time, the kids had a snack - rainbow goldfish and water. She was fine sitting at the tables for crafts and snacks with the other kids, and without me (as long as I wasn't too far away!)
She exceeded my expectations in every way, and she was no more shy than any of the other kids. I feel like she's finally growing out of that stage, and I am definitely happy about that!! She's so much fun right now, and I'm really excited for the rest of the year!
