It was a big day for this excited little girl. She spent the whole night before so wound up that she did not fall asleep until 10:30pm! Her excitement carried over to the morning when she awoke rearing to go. I kept waiting for the apprehension to set in, but thankfully, it never really did.
She was all about having her picture taken and even wanted to take a picture of us as we were taking her to school!
I have really been impressed with the level of professionalism and organization of the staff at this school. I hope this continues throughout the school year. I feel truly blessed that Caleigh is able to attend a place where she will get to learn about God as well as be taught basic skills.
There were no tears shed by anyone in our family on this day. Although I will be the first to admit that I was expecting a flood (from me, not her). I could not have been more proud of her.
When I picked her up, she told told me that she had leaned to "Turn her lips off and turn her ears on." So, that is exactly what I did. I turned my lips off and turned on my ears to listen to all the wonderful things she had to tell me about her first day of "school". She even said when she saw a little girl crying in her class she tried to tell her that it was "ok" and that "school is fun" and that her mommy would be back to get her in just a little while. This melted my heart. Here I was worried about her, and she is the one comforting others. She never stops amazing me!
So here's to a year of "turning my ears on" and listening to all of the adventures of my precious girl.
