First Day of Preschool!

Hanna started preschool yesterday. She was so excited. We signed up in the spring and ever since she's yelled, "Mom, there's my school!" whenever we drive by it. (It is just down the road from our house!). We prayed and worried about her first day and God certainly listened. I never imagined she would have reacted the way she did. Tuesday night picked out her clothes, got her lunch box, and her purple pillow/blanket for nap time. She chose to wear a pink dress so Miss Lana (not my friend Lana) would think she looked pretty! Wednesday morning we got a fog delay and when she woke up, she was actually singing, "I get to go to school!" We got ready, took pictures (I'll add soon), and left. In the van, she was a little nervous, but as soon as we pulled into the driveway of the church, she was excited again. She went right in, had Miss Lana show her where to put her pillow/blanket, lunch box, and backpack. Then she went with Miss Lana into the classroom to meet the other kids. I followed her and said that I was leaving and that dad would pick her up after her nap. She hugged me and said, "OK mommy!" Amazing. I prayed for her to love it, but never expected it. I fully expected tears (from me too), but none. I wanted to, but I was afraid the boys would laugh at me. :) She had a great day and never cried. She was happy to see daddy when he got there and is excited to go back tomorrow. She's going to on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Thank you God for giving her the strength and courage one would never expect in such a tiny girl! She is such a big girl...at heart anyway!
