meet the teacher

today was 'meet the teacher day' at luci's preschool. this am before we left was FULL of drama. she wanted to "stay in our house all day in my pajamas". she had a potty accident while in time out in the outfit we finally agreed upon. there was a lot of anticipation & g, of course, took a record nap since we had specific plans to get out of the house...finally i told clay we needed to just go & rip the band-aid off, so to speak.

off we were. she was fine while we were in the car. she was fine walking in because cookies & miss k's mama, miss i, greeted us (miss k was our summer mother's helper). miss i informed luci that miss k just went to disneyland and told cinderella lulu was coming (see 'broken' for details). so we started off right.

after walking into the wrong 3's classroom (the older 3's instead of early 3's) we finally found our room....stocked with dress up clothes! that her friend allie was already playing with! she ran right over & started to play dress up & tea party with her friends allie & allie's older brother bryan. we saw all sorts of friends and i know that made her immediately at home.

she met her teachers miss l (who she had last year) & miss j and even gave miss l a big hug before we left. AWESOME! we walked out & had a cookie with all of our friends (4 families :) and all was well. the last thing she did was skip, hand in hand, with clara down the hall so they could show each other their classrooms...which are across the hall from one another. seriously, i almost cried watching them skip down the hall giggling. (clara is probably the closest thing she'll have to a sister, and i'm so grateful for their relationship. but that is another post for another day.)

we are going to get up & 'practice' the next couple of days & start laying her clothes out the night before to avoid the what to wear drama the next day.

and hope & pray that monday goes well!!!!
