Mykenzi's First Day of Preschool

Today was Mykenzi's first day of preschool. This morning

she ate breakfast, put on her backpack, and was very excited

and ready to go. When we first arrived and sat through

Jesus Time, she seemed a little uncertain about what was

happening, but once we moved into the classroom and she sat

down on the floor with the other boys and girls, I slipped out

the room and I'm not sure that she even noticed. When I picked

her up I was surprised to find that I have my first piece of school

artwork to save, a piece of black construction paper with her

handprint in white paint (a wolf she tells me) and 2 yellow stickers

on the hand that she says are the wolf's eyes. Mykenzi excitedly

told us about all the things they did this morning: read a book (about

a wolf she says), played with sand, played with play-do, painted, and

had a snack, Cheez-Its with water and berry juice. Mykenzi is

looking forward to going back to preschool on Monday,

so today was definitely a success.

Sitting on the floor for Jesus Time. She was a little
uncertain about things at this point, choosing to sit facing
us instead of the preacher who was welcoming the children
and singing songs with them. She sat like that for the entire
10-15 minutes looking at us with her fingers in her mouth.
