Abigail's First Day of School
Friday was Abigail's first day of school at Sunnybrook Montessori!
She was so excited that morning; backpack full of supplies (it was so heavy, she kept tipping backward), and ready for new adventures!
We were greeted by Miss Holly (her teacher), and a handful of new classmates eager to meet their new classmate (one girl, Adele, tried holding Abigail's hand at the snack table- too cute!) and while Abigail was hesitant to let me leave, she put on her brave face and away she went (an adorably heart breaking Mommy-moment).
I came back at noon, greeted by an ever-eager Abigail, and a huge bear hug. Teacher Holly said she did great; very observant (classic Bits), but reportedly more like a kid who'd been there a week vs. a day.
And boy did I get an earful on the way home! Abigail couldn't stop talking about "cool" (school) and all the fun things she did that day (circle time, books, snack, playing outside..)
I feel really good about her new school and the experiences she will have here.
Here's to the start of a beautiful friendship!
And just for fun, here's a look back at Abigail's first first day of school.
My baby :)
