First Real Day of PreK

Well Kaitlyn had her first real day of preschool today.

It started out with our door codes not being entered so we couldn't get in the building and she was getting anxious and kept whinishly asking me "Why can't we go in yet?!" Once inside we went up to the classroom where she completly ignored the fact that the teacher sai Hi to her and instantly wanted to hide in the corner playing the computer by herself. I had to again ask for a hug and kiss goodbye... she really doesnt mind me leaving When Kaitlyn wanted to play on the computer there were already two boys playing there, the teacher told me she redirected her and she did, in fact, find something else to play with. The teacher said they will probably have to limit her computer time because thats really where she wants to stay since it is a pretty secluded spot. The teacher told me how she was lining up Care Bears that matched in lines and was making the Care Bears have voices, some crying because they couldnt find their mommys. She often does this at home with small toys as well. Overall the teacher said she did well and got a Green Smiley Face on her Calendar for the day!

From the moment we picked Kaitlyn up from school we have kinda felt like we are "walking on eggshells" today. We got her from school and she, quite literally, pulled me out of there and is not listening (not even hearing us call her name), is being rude/inconsiderate, talking back, says to leave her alone ri...ght now she doesnt want to talk, and is having a lot of trouble focusing... she is very "heightened" and I don't have a good feeling about today but I'm TRYing to be positive.

I did manage a few hours later to get her to talk about her day. She said she played with the Care Bears (and told me all about the mommy & babies) and matching them up and that she played with the computer. I asked if she talked to or played with any of the kids and she said "I told you I what I played with, toys! I didnt play with kids or talk to them."

For now she is napping and we will see how the rest of the day goes. I'm hoping the nap will recharge her and not backfire on us. Jon is home today so I'm not sure what the evening will bring or where we might go, it's a beautiful day.

No School tomorrow and her Recheck at the Opthamologist is on Wed morning so hopefully that goes well. Oh yeah and she woke up this morning with a stuffy nose and cold so she is tired and sick and not happy about that either. Hopefully she will be too tired from that to throw any big tantrums!!
