Over the weekend, I was offered a job as a teacher assistant at a local preschool. Todd and I thought it would be good for Emily to start a program of some sort, but I still wanted to be with her as much as possible. And of course, extra money will be nice. I accepted the position working in a 3 year old class. Emily is in the two year old class two doors down. We went to orientation on Monday(then to McDonalds with Laura and Caleb) and started school today! I was more nervous about her being away from us than I was when the dresser fell on her. Keep in mind, she has hardly been away from me since birth. I had a very stressful night Monday night...no sleep and even thought about quitting before we started. However, we went and Emily did great! Her teacher said there were no problems at all and I got her back in one piece. We are at school from 8:30 until 12noon,Monday thru Thurdsay. She told me at lunch that she cried at school and her teacher held her. I will ask tomorrow to see what that was all about. I told her that was ok, because mommy cried too and my teacher hugged me! After dinner, she wanted to play "teacher". I told her to sing daddy and momma a song. She set on the floor, folded her arms and told us to "sit down". I asked her if that is what she had to do at school and she said "yes". Then she started singing and acting out a song, that I had never heard or seen. So...with all that being said, she must have gotten something out of being there today. It was so cute seeing her teaching us how to sit and place our hands on our laps. I hope she has a great day tomorrow. These are the pictures of her getting ready this morning and of her papers she brought home today.
