first day of pre-k


 Today was the day Heidi has been waiting for...Pre-K!  This whole week has been exciting actually because she started dance Monday and had the "best time ever".  Last night we put the"ready confetti" under her pillow that her teacher gave her at open house to help her sleep.  She woke up happy as could be.  She quickly got dressed and started asking if it was time at 6:30 am.  She ate her breakfast, made her lunch, brushed her teeth and had her backpack on by 7:30.  The whole morning all Savanna did was bawl.  She kept saying she wanted to go to Pre-K too.  I kept telling her she could go to preschool too but it would be in her own class and that only made her madder.  I told her she was going to do preschool at home and have special time with me and that made her even madder.  All she wanted was Heidi.
After we dropped Heidi off in her classroom and Heidi gave Savanna a final hug and kiss Savanna was inconsolable.  You know you're in the south when every person we passed on the way out responded with, "Oh, bless her heart."  We went to the park and met with some friends, had some lunch, and before we knew it, it was time to pick up Heidi!  She was over the moon about school and said she can't wait until Monday to go back.  I hope her enthusiasm continues and that Savanna gets used to the time apart.  Heidi seems pretty exhausted from her day.  I still can't believe she's old enough for all of this and I am so glad she had such a fun day!
