Preschool

Tomorrow Olive starts preschool.

She went for 2 days this summer as practice and loved it. I know she'll love going and participating and learning.

Our girl has changed so much and become such a different kid than she used to be.

A year ago I was so worried about her transition to preschool. I was certain that she would be scared, that she'd cry when I left, that she would take a long time to get used the new routine. But that was a year ago.

Our cautious, scared, anxious girl is no more. She has blossomed into an eager to participate kiddo, she loves to meet new people, she doesn't mind large groups, she separates easily.

She is still so so thoughtful. She is hyper aware of her surroundings, her peers, other's feelings. She notices everything going on around her.

Observes it.

Takes it in.

Comments on it.

Olive is such a unique child. She really is. She is incredibly smart, insightful, thoughtful.

And she's still anxious, don't get me wrong. She still worries much more than I'd like her little 3 year old self to do.

But she's ready. She's ready to conquer preschool.

Good luck, baby.
