On our way to Open House to meet her Teacher. She was so giddy and nervous.
Look at that face - not quite sure about this anymore.
Priceless. A keeper for her scrapbook. When she gets nervous, this is what she does. Meeting her teacher, Mrs. Fredericks for the first time.

Open House was not exactly the successful trip I was planning on. She clammed up once we were inside the classroom. I guess it was too many strange faces and was too overwhelming for her. She kept saying she wanted to leave. That this was "too scary." I held her most of the time there and she even left in tears. (so did I). I was worried sick that she wasn't ready for school Afterall, she IS a young three year old...
The next day, today, was Student Orientation. I was worried sick that this was going to bomb too. Dad took her, because I was afraid the two of us would crumble together. We built it up all morning long over breakfast. We talked about the exciting aspects of school. She kept saying, "I don't want to go back to my Teacher's House." I guess she was confused. But, Dad took her and she put on a brave face and got in the car. And today was successful. She didn't cry at all. In fact, she had fun and was a great listener. Her teacher even pointed her behavior out to other students as an example. We are so proud and I am so relieved. Here is a picture of today's successful day!
