Mary Clare’s first day of 2K at First Baptist Weekday Preschool

We all packed our bags and headed out the door together this morning.  Even McCanless was bright eyed and bushy tailed! (Probably because it was a 9 AM, an hour later than when she and I have to be at Thomas Hart.)  After today, Daddy will get the morning task of delivering Mary Clare to 2K.  This is probably the last day she’ll be coordinated and on time.  

 

“How old are you Mary Clare?”  She held up her hand of “Five” but said two.

Below is McCanless on her first day of 2K..

Reese was there when we arrived in the parking lot.  We were the first ones!

Mary Clare grabbed his hand and marched him right up to the door like she knew exactly what was going on.  I know this is going to be a great year!  We love Ms. Jordan, their 2K teacher!

McCanless also attended FBWP in 2K and 3K.  She felt it was her duty to show Mary Clare and Reese the ropes.  She even pointed out to Reese the principal’s office.  Which is quiet funny considering she visited Ms. Jane there once herself in 3K.    

Poor Reese.  He just didn’t want his Mommy to leave at first.

Mary Clare didn’t hesitate.  She began playing immediately and never once looked my way.  McCanless and I snuck out just in case.  Although, I’m really just telling myself that.  When I arrived at 12 to pick her up, her teachers told me that she had the best time and never once shed a tear or looked for me.  Oh, well.  I guess that’s a good thing, right?  I,however, shed a few once we left the parking lot.  My sweet baby girl is in school.  

So, this is how I left my baby girl.  On top of blocks explaining to Ms. Jordan that she was “on stage.”   All the world’s your stage, sweet Mary Clare.  Mommy is so very proud of you.
