Official First Day of School

Today, July 6th, is Isabella's official first day of classes. We are starting with gradual entry so the plan is as follows:

Day 1 - Isabella and Mommy stays until lunch time
Day 2 - Isabella and Mommy stays until after lunch time
Day 3 - Isabella and Mommy stays until nap time, but Mommy will leave for a few hours in between
Day 4 - Isabella goes to school the whole day and Mommy stays until lunch time.
Day 5 - Isabella goes to school like a big girl

Well, Day 1 was not too bad. Miss Tayna said Isabella is doing well for the first day as she was willing to play independently without Mommy. Isabella would look for Mommy every 1/2 hour or change of activity... but resumed with her activity once she was sure Mommy was in the vicinity. Isabella brought her baby cabbage patch doll to school for comfort. All the other girls (and boys) wanted to play with the baby doll but Isabella did not want to share her doll with others.

Isabella did not enjoy snack time as they were serving green apple slices with milk. So you can imagine she was hungry by noon time. She enjoyed circle time, plaing with paint (but did not like getting paint on her hands or clothes). She spent a lot of her time on the indoor swing.

Daddy pick us up at noon and took Isabella out for lunch. Isabella is spending the rest of the afternoon together at home.
