My beautiful big girl is just that … a big girl. I already mentioned why we had to switch her schools at the last minute, and well, today was her first day.
At her new school, all the kids and parents wait on the sidewalk for the teachers to come out to walk them back to their classrooms. While we’re waiting, Jade starts to get nervous as more kids start to line up behind her. “Momma, pick me up,” she says, as I hold all of her school supplies and her backpack. But, I can see that she’s a bit nervous. So, I pick her up for a couple of seconds to get her comforted. And, the teachers come out.
Her teacher explains to me the process and asks Jade if she wants to walk back with her, or if she wants me to walk her back. Jade grabs my hand (I had set her down to sign in) and clings to me. So, I walk her back.
When we get to the classroom, she heads straight over to the kitchen while I talk to the teacher that is in the room, hand over the supplies, etc. She has already made herself at home with the toys. When I’m done talking, I tell her I’d like to show her the potty before I go. She reluctantly follows me, but is happy to see the little potty in the room. She goes potty and washes her hands. Then, she heads right back out of the room. The teacher is getting play dough out for all of the kids and has a fresh can in her hand. She offers it to Jade, who pulls out the chair and sits down. “Momma, can I use this?” she says picking up a cookie cutter. I tell her yes, and she smooshes the new play dough down with the cookie cutter.
I lean down and give her a kiss, and she looks up at me and says, “Bye, Momma. I love you.”
I cried the entire way home. I know, I’m pregnant and over emotional. She is such a big girl! I love her so much and I am so proud of her! I just hope that she is in a good mood and had a good day when I pick her up from school in 2 hours.
