Meeting the Teacher!

Laney got to meet her preschool teacher, Mrs. Southerland, yesterday! She is so excited about starting preschool. Her first day is Friday, September 10. She will be going to Zion Lutheran Preschool and is in the 2 year old class. Zion just started offering a preschool class for 2 year olds. It meets one morning a week, from 8:15 to 11. They will be learning a little about Jesus and the Bible, working on motor skills (jumping, running, etc), doing craft time, snack time, & story/music time. Mrs. Southerland seemed like a very nice lady and will do excellent with that age group. The main reason we enrolled Laney in preschool at the age of 2 is because she doesn't go to a daycare during the week. If she was one that went to daycare instead of having her grandma's babysit, that would be a different story. We both think it'll be good for her to learn to listen to someone else, rather than Mommy, Daddy, Grandma, Grandpa, etc and learn how to play and share with other kids her age. After meeting with the teacher and seeing her classroom, we took a trip to Greenwood to shop. When I pulled in the Target parking lot, Laney started whining, "No go to Target! Inna (I wanna) go to skul (school)!" Let's hope she keeps that enthusiasm! Stay tuned to find out how the "first day" goes....
