First Day of Preschool!

Ready for her first day of preschool!!

Excited, too!

Lucy started all day preschool this week!  She is attending 3 days a week for just over 6 hours per day.  It's pretty weird not having her around, since she's been with one of us, my mom or a nanny at our house since she got home from the hospital!  Plus, I'm still on maternity leave with Ruby so I'm at home all day!!

To say she's a fan of preschool would be an understatement!  She seems to really enjoy it and comes home with art projects, stories of her friends and teachers and even has been eating the school lunch!  I sent a nicely chopped and easy to eat lunch with her the first day and she didn't even eat it...so I guess we'll see how school lunch goes.  The teachers, room helpers and school nurse all know about her TEF and narrow esophagus, so they are very helpful when she eats, helping her cut things and reminding her to take frequent drink breaks.  We always send snacks in her backpack in case the food provided isn't something she can eat.

They have a rest time after lunch,which I was a little concerned about since she hasn't napped since she was just over 3 (she'll literally stay up until 11 or 12 if she naps on a regular basis!).  However, she says she just "rests" quietly and it's fine.  I suspect she may be falling asleep based on how peppy she is at 8:30 pm at home...and my suspicions were seemingly confirmed when she got an award for being a good sleeper during rest time all week...Hhmmmmm.

To see her bounce back so quickly from her last dilatation has been awesome...what a trooper!  Thanks for the continued prayers and interest in Lucy's journey!

"Dad - is this high enough???"
