Emerson's 1st day of preschool!!

Today was the big day!!  And Emerson did SO good :)  We had no worries at all, she has been excited for this day for awhile now!  Watching her, you would have thought she'd been going to preschool for months.  She participated so well, told the teacher when she had to go to the washroom and was totally comfortable in the classroom and with the other children.  It was awesome!!!  This morning we thought we might not go to preschool because Blake wasn't well enough and a snowstorm was occurring outside!  But Emerson really wanted to go, so we got dressed took some "1st day of school photo's" and I took her.  I'm glad I did, as she had so much fun and they had an Easter egg hunt!  She brought home some chocolate eggs for Blake too :)  Cal stayed home with Blake and Reese.  From taking Blake to school, Emerson knows the drill - when we first arrived she took her coat and boots off, put her inside shoes on and put her lunch kit in the right place!!  She went into the classroom and sat right down on the rug where they are supposed to sit for the start of class!  I had tears in my eyes watching her, she's grown up so fast and was so flippin' adorable sitting 'criss-cross applesauce' ;)  She's already on the show and share list for the end of April and when I asked her what she'd like to bring, she replied "Teddy!!!!"  I hope I can video tape her 1st show and share!!  Emerson was very excited about the Easter egg hunt and kept saying, "That Easter Bunny is a sneaky-sneak!!!"  Apparently the teachers told the kids that while they were having free time in the play gym, the Easter bunny snuck in and hid some eggs ... !!  So much fun :)

Starting next week, Blake will be by himself in preschool on Tuesday morning's and on Thursday's Blake and Em will both be in preschool!  That means it will be just Reese and I (or Cal and Reese or Reese, Cal and I!) at Come Play With Me, which will be nice for the 3 of us!  Reese enjoys the songs and playing in Come Play With Me and I'm sure she'll enjoy our undivided attention :)


We've received confirmation from the Lago Lindo preschool that Emerson is registered and at the end of April we have Emerson's evaluation for the 100 Voices Preschool.  Either program will be wonderful and today is evidence that she will definitely enjoy school next year!  Way to go Em, we're so proud of you :)  xoxo


Have a great Easter weekend!
