Emily has started preschool

Emily started preschool about 5 weeks ago. I would have blogged about it sooner but I actually just got the pictures yesterday. My sister was so kind to take pictures of her on her first day so that I could see all of the stuff she did. My sister actually works at the preschool part time as an assistant director so she was working that day. It is comforting to know that she is there and that Emily will be taken good care of.

Anyways, Emily sort of likes preschool. Her first day went pretty good. You could tell that she had never been in a structured preschool/ classroom setting because when they sat on the floor to read a book, all of the kids faced the teacher except Emily. She sat with her back towards the teacher until someone told her otherwise. When I came to pick her up at the end of the day (which was around noon) she was sitting there eating her lunch and she looked like a deer in the headlights. She didn't know what was going on at all. It's kind of a fight every time it's time to go to school but she does seem to enjoy it once she's there. They have tons of fun summer activities going on at school (like water slides, bounce houses, squirt gun days, and many more things). I'm hoping that the more she goes, they more comfortable she'll get. I've been taking her once a week but I'm going to start taking her two times a week and see how she does. Since Emily likes to give me a hard time about pretty much everything, this is fitting for her to make it so difficult to start preschool. She is my little controller who really doesn't like to be told what to do. Hmm..... I wonder were she got that trait :-). She's such a sweet girl with so much personality. She makes me smile thinking about her.
