Taylor's First Day of Preschool at First Steps

We made it on-time and it was a full success!  Yesterday, we spent preparing for the big day - gathering her "supplies" ready and getting in bed early.  We picked out a plant and painted a special pot for her to plant it in.  She also had to bring a framed family picture so she was very excited about that.  Today was a short day - only an hour and I stayed with her the entire time.  There were no tears and she wasn't afraid of anything.  She even made a few buddies; however, most of the time the kids were doing "work" by themselves.  Yes, it's called "work" not "toys" or "play".  There are eleven kids in her class and three teachers.  Her lead teacher is Ms. Veronica.  There is also a mix of older kids who were in the class last year and new kids.  Tomorrow we go for a little longer and I slip out of the room for 30 minutes.  Friday a little longer and I'm gone for an hour.  Next week, it's 8:15am - noon everyday.
