Well, it doesn’t really count yet. This was only orientation and she can’t begin 3 year old preschool by law until April, but we’re getting closer by the day and it’s scary. It’s scary enough it’s almost February.
She was very excited. Once we got there, she was running all over, checking out all the little ‘areas’. Boy, I would’ve had fun too. Adam was working from home today and came along too and I think was hoping on getting ‘brownie’ points for being a lone dad, but there was another dad there, so sorry mate.
Riley loved it as much as Keira. Given his obsession with toilets and bathrooms at the moment, he was in heaven with all the minature toilets and clothes hooks and taps etc. He was even licking the floor. Ewwww! Gee, I wonder why he’s just gotten sick? I wonder why he doesn’t get sick more often.
Most of the other mothers there knew each other from playgroups and so the kids knew each other already. Keira was happy playing on her own, so that didn’t matter. I kind of felt left out when I heard all the other mother’s talk about their pelvic floor muscles. Part of me thought: “Oh, come on, can’t you think of anything else to talk about?” the other part of me thought: “Please ask me about my pelvic floor muscles! Please!”
All in all a successful day. It will be different once she’s there alone for a session and the shine has rubbed off.
But she will get to create more masterpieces like this: her first preschool painting.
