Both Bill and I took her to school. We let her FaceTime with both sets of grandparents on the way there. She also brought a few of her Bearenstein Bears books to look at. Perhaps she expected more traffic?
It was a different experience for me as a public school educated girl. The environment was much more calm than I'm used to in a school setting.
We introduced Georgia to her teacher, Ms Gardner along with the two sides, Ms Kaitlin and Ms Messi. They all gave Georgia hugs and welcomed her with lots of love. Georgia felt right at home. We left her playing with the kitchen and not really caring if we were there or not.
I thought I would get a bit teary, but I held it together.
Today was only a half day. When we picked her up at noon she was happy to see us, but was still very nonchalant. Her teacher said she did great. It was a little chaotic at pick up so we didn't get to ask the teacher anything else.
Georgia told us and her grandparents (via FaceTime) that school was "good". Her new friends were "nice". Not too talkative, but did say that she liked it. Works for me!
We surprised her with lunch at the American Girl Cafe out in Tysons. We had her Bitty Baby doll, Milou, in the car when we picked her up. She enjoyed herself and liked the surprise. The funniest part of lunch was running into one of her classmates at the mall. How random!!
Reality started to hit her on the way home from lunch. She asked to spend the night at her Nana's, something she has done many times this summer. We told her that she couldn't because she has school tomorrow. She immediately decided she didn't like school and instead wanted to go swim in Nana's pool and see Nana's cat, Tabasco. Welcome to the real world kid, welcome to the real world....
