Addy's First Day of Pre-K

Last week was a huge week for the Freihaut household because Addy offically started her school journey.  On Thursday (August 25th) I dropped Addy off at the elementary school to begin her first year of PreK.  Addy was very excited about beginning school and practically bounced out of bed that morning so excited to get dressed and ready for her big day.  I, on the other hand, barely slept and woke up with a huge knot in my stomach.  I was full of anxiety about sending my little girl to school.  There's something about the thought of Addy going to school EVERYDAY for two and a half hours in the morning that made me uneasy.

Addy got dressed in her pink flower t-shirt and plaid shorts that she has selected on her own the night before.  She then came downstairs and enjoyed her self selected breakfast of waffles and yogurt and was ready to go.  After a pictures were snapped we loaded into the vehicle and were off to drop Miss Adalyn off for her very first day of school.

The teachers come out to get the kids out of the vehicles in the drop off lane so there wasn't a lot of time for gushy hugs and goodbyes.  Addy had not problem jumping out of the car and heading to the line with her teacher.  It was a tearless moment (for her anyway) and she was excited to start her school journey.  I on the other hand watched her every step as she headed into line and I even jumped out of the car (Derek was driving) to snap  afew pictures of her heading into school (yes, I was that mom:). 

Addy's first day went great.  She had lots of things to share with us when she got home.  Her hightlights for the day were recess, metting new friends, and completing her classroom job which was to ring the bell to signal that it was time to clean up.  I also survived Addy's first day.  Carter and I enjoyed our time at home together and I managed to get a few things done whicl Carter was taking his morning nap.    Addy loves school and we are so lucky to have the opportunity to send her to such a wonderful program with fantastic teachers everyday.  It's just so hard to believe that our little girl is now a school girl!
