Adeline started her developmental preschool classroom today. We were out of bed bright and early due to the start time of 8:30 a.m.! I tried my best to explain to her that she was going to school to see her teacher Miss Lois but I am not sure she got the part of mommy leaving.
It was clear she was nervous, as was I. Unfortunately, her classroom is housed in a fairly large elementary school which makes one tend to feel overwhelmed. The buses coming and going were very distracting for Adeline. We met her teachers at the buss drop off which prevents me coming into the room or arriving a few minutes early in order to peek inside. I am not thrilled about the black box classroom but will get used to it over time. There is a communication notebook that is supposed to keep parents in touch. It only mentioned what the class did today and nothing about Adeline's disposition. The teacher said she did well and was happy. I only have the face to face interaction because I choose to drive her to school instead of having her bussed like the other kids. I just can't imagine putting Adeline on a little school bus, most likely just her and driver, and not seeing her off to her teacher.
Day one down. . . too many more to go. I can't wait until her mainstream classroom starts and she is back in the hands of the one and only Mrs. Stueve.
I don't know what is going on with the bright idea pose. . .
Miss Lois offered to take a picture of us which I thought was rather nice.
