Amazed

She's been going to Pre-School for three weeks now, and I am totally blown away by her progress. Yesterday, she went to work with me because she caught that nasty bug going around. And, right before we left, she wanted to make some mail for Daddy.
So, I got her a piece of paper where she made some scribbles and then folded it up just enough to fit in the envelope. Then she asked me how to spell Daddy's real name. I took another piece of scratch paper and said J-A-S-O-N as I spelled it out on the paper. She put it right above the envelope, and spelled out his name perfectly. Of course, it wasn't straight, but all the letters were in order. And, you could read it. Then below that, she wrote out D-A-D-D-Y.

My daughter is so brilliant! She learns SO quickly, and I am so happy that I chose Mudpies & Lullabies as her daycare. They are the best.

She Started School

We are now on Day 2 of Pre K, and McKeonly seems to love it. I drove by today while they were out, and I was able to give her a kiss through the fence. Apparently, all the kids know who her momma is, because anytime I come around, they all tell McKeonly that I'm there.

I think it's pretty neat.

It was a scary thought to put her in a facility where she wouldn't get as much attention and other kids could be mean to her, but she is more than ready. The transition from "staying at home with mom" to "going to in-home child care" I think really prepared her for this. Plus, she is SO ready to learn. She will learn anything that's around her. And now she's in a great environment to do so.
