Preschool Update

Kiya had a GREAT first week in preschool. She can't stop talking about her friends and her classroom, "La Playa." Her new teachers reveled in just how well she adjusted.

We faced one old and one new issue during this transition. The old issue being her over dramatic clingyness at drop off. I mean she grabs on to our legs and doesn't want to let go. Sure enough a teacher comes to get her and she walks a way to go play or do art or read and is just fine. It is an academy award winning performance. I would be worried about it but her daily reports all say that she had a great day and when we pick her up she is super happy and silly.

The new issues was splash day. In her old room splash day was Thursday and Kiya is with nana and papa on Thursdays so there was no issue. Now her new class has splash day on Tuesday. Due to her cast, Kiya can't run in sprinklers. Well she can once in July after cast cut off. I called her teachers to talk about options and they are going to bring out a water table so she can splash around and play. She will wear a bib and it will be fine. I was so excited that they came up with a way for Kiya to play with her friends and not miss all the summertime fun.

Week one down. I am excited to see what week 2 brings. She will encounter her first splash day.....so that could be interesting. She hasn't had to deal with sprinklers ever before as she wasn't walking last summer and now this summer she has a cast. For the most part she is a reasonable kid for a 2 1/2 year old anyway so I am hoping it works out.
