Angie began going to preschool this week. I had high hopes that she would be fine because at open house on Monday she was great. She was a little hesitant to go in the room but then she started to play and we painted a little. She was really enjoying herself. She even hugged the teacher before we left. I thought, "hey, this is great!". When we dropped her off Tuesday morning she was great again. She walked right into the room and never looked back. She could have cared less that we weren't in there with her. When I picked her up she was happy. She really seemed to enjoy herself. Then Thursday rolled around...I had to do the car line on Thursday. This is what started it all, I think. The person who took her from our car was someone we didn't know. She was hesitant to leave the van but I convinced her to get out. About 9:45 I got a call that she was still crying and had even thrown up because she was crying so hard. We agreed to let her stay and see what happened. They called back at 10:15 and said she was still crying but was a little better. We still decided for her to stay and I would just pick her up when school let out at 11:00. I just figured that she has to learn that school is fun and I am not going to come and rescue her just because she cries. We will see what next week holds.
On a side note, Caleb started crawling right after my last post. I believe it was on August 27th. I blogged that afternoon that he really wanted to but just hadn't figured it out. Well, later that afternoon, he figured it out! He is doing the army crawl but I don't think it'll be long before he is crawling on his hands and knees. He is pretty fast and we can already tell that he is going to be the child who gets into lots of things and will try to figure out how things work. Oh boy...
PS, the picture is from her first day of school. We took it before we left the house that morning.

Oh, Sam did this...exactly. He was fine the first week, then week two he cried so hard, they told me I had to come pick him up. We shortened his hours for a few weeks, built him up to the full school half day and now he doesn't even look back. You and she will LOVE preschool. It has been SO good for Sam.
Rachel, she is doing so much better now. She is excited for school and is coming out of her shell.
