This is Piper in the van right before being dropped off by Lita, our daycare Director:
This is Piper outside of her classroom:
This is Piper in the hallway with her ginormous backpack:
This is Piper and her class on the first day (notice who is front and center):
And this is Piper in the van at the end of the week, when going to kindergarten was already old hat:
She had a great first week! We're very happy with the communication from the school. On Friday, we get an email about what Piper does in her class each week, and throughout the week we get email updates about particular things they've done, often with photos. It's really helpful to know what's going on, especially because talking about her day is a skill Piper is just starting to develop (and of course we have a million questions for her!). The pictures are a great way to ask her questions about her day, and they seem to jog her memory about specifics things she did.
We're also very appreciative of the great care and communication from the daycare. The Director, Lita, has been giving me updates on how brave Piper is becoming. She brought Piper in on her first day and stayed with her awhile, and as Piper got in line with her class outside the room Lita asked her if she should stay longer. She said Piper gave her a big smile, a thumbs up, and told Lita "I'm good!" Since then, she's getting more and more independent at drop off, and knows that she should walk down the hall, wait by the door, and her teacher will come around the corner. Lita thinks that soon Piper will be ready to go in by herself! BIG GIRL!
What an exciting chapter in this lady's life!
