First day of school

My baby is all grown up and going to school... *sniff*

It was Andrea's first day in summer play school this morning. That photo was taken outside the car before we took her to school. The smile was a little forced because I had to wake her up earlier than usual. And that bag is just a prop... all that's in it is an extra t-shirt, a small towel, a water bottle, and a small pack of peanuts (Andrea's all time favorite snack). She had been asking for a trolley for a while so we decided to get her one since she's going to school anyway.

 I enrolled her in summer school to get her used to the presence of other adults and other kids before she starts toddler school this June. Since last week, we have been going through one of her Dora books where Dora was in school to get her in the mood.

I guess it didn't work.

Andrea being carried and comforted by one of the teachers.
Now I have no idea how to use that photo for a digital scrapbook layout *sigh*. The class lasted only for an hour. She cried for that entire hour. It broke my heart to hear her crying all that time, but it was necessary. It was the first time she was alone with other people without me or daddy or yaya Lani.

Oh you poor thing Janelle! It's so hard to let go when they start school. I'm sure she'll soon settle in and love it!!

I hope Andrea gets used to school soon and when she does, do tell me how you helped her please? I might be facing that problem too by this June. ;)
