Off to Preschool!

The day finally came for Emma to start preschool! She has been waiting for this for months now! (And so have I!) Her first day of school was Tuesday. Last week she had a "Meet the Teacher" and got to meet her class. She is very excited that Alli from her dance class is in the same preschool class! I have been looking forward to having a couple hours a day to just have Derrick. I felt like I accomplished quite a bit in 2 hours with just 1 kid! But, as I dropped her off my heart sank a little! I'm sure I will cry on the first day of kindergarten! Derrick and I went to Kohl's and Wal-Mart and cleaned the kitchen while Emma was at her first day of school. When we went to pick her up she got in the car and Derrick's little face just lit up and he said "EMMA, did you have fun?!" I thought Derrick would be fine with her gone, but I think he misses her. He asked where she was twice today and cried when I went to take a shower this morning because he had no one to play with! But, I also think it will be good for all of us! The first thing Emma told me was that she played with Barbie's at school! She also told me she had singing time, learned about the color red and that there was a naughty boy that said "Ehh" (in a grunting tone) to Miss Amber! She gave me the details of how he had to sit on the naughty bench for 2 minutes and then they sang silly songs to cheer him up and make him be nice! I'm glad she had such a good first day. Today she had fun again and can't wait to go back tomorrow! I can't believe she is such a big girl!

Ready for school!

She wanted to take a picture with Derrick! (How sweet!)

Good-bye my big girl! Do you love the black and white for a dramatic effect?! :)
