One Fall Day

First day of Preschool!

Today was Willow's preschool orientation day! It went well, she reluctantly participated during circle time, and she played independently with one of the teachers. She seems excited about the whole thing but I wonder what she will think next week when she goes by herself! She was so funny in the car on the way home. She said "how can that place be so small, and so big?" I asked her what she meant, and she told me that when her and I went to the school to meet the teacher and check the place out, it looked small.  But today, with 16 kids and parents it looked really, really big.  With all of those scary people there she felt very small and intimidated.  I can totally relate to her, I'd be the same way, am the same way, when thrown into an unfamiliar social environment.  I really hope this is a good experience for her that prepares her for school and makes her more comfortable with other kids.
