How did this happen? How did this teeny tiny baby grow into a preschooler over night? Because I swear to you that's how fast it happened.

Elise is going to have all sorts of preschool fun this year. She is attending TWO preschools. The first, through our church (St. Paul's Lutheran Church). The second, through the public schools in Marshfield. Sean and I both work full-time, so we needed someone to fill in the gaps since the public school preschool is only from 8:30am-11:30am. Luckily, our church offers a great preschool and will take and pick up Elise from the public school.

| Elise Joann Jackson, 4 1/2, first day of preschool (Take One :)) |
Elise's first day of preschool at St. Paul's started EARLY. I had to be at an appointment at 7am, and still had to drop Erin off at daycare (she started full-time this week, too. Lots of changes at the Jackson house!) before taking Elise. She took it all in stride, though, and we did pretty good! When I dropped her off, I talked to her teacher for a bit and she went right on in and started playing with a little boy. When I needed to leave, she couldn't even be bothered to stop long enough for a hug. She simply waved and told me bye before going back to her blocks. The teacher called in the afternoon and said that she was doing really well, but seemed a little shy. I laughed, because SHY is not an adjective that accurately portrays my daughter. I figured that was first day jitters and she'll be her normal self before the end of the week!
Last night, she told Daddy and me that she made 3 friends. She didn't know their names, she only knew what color their shirts were. One was a boy, and two were girls. That's all she had. She also told us she tried salad, and that she drew Earth out of her hand with her thumbs as trees.
Overall, a pretty good first day at school. Can't wait to hear what she thinks of Preschool #2 at Sneak Peek on Thursday!
