My daughter started preschool this morning!

Lyra is such an adorable little girl. I cannot believe she is 2 1/2 already, and starting preschool already!!! Wow. They do grow too fast, don't they? How did she like her first day?

I can imagine the tears. I'm sure I would've cried too. I don't think I'd be able to send my son to school before kindergarten. Just thinking about dropping him off and leaving tears me up.

She'll enjoy Montessori so much more than public school. And they learn so much faster.
I did a double take when I saw Lyra in a car seat and yet she's reasdy for school...seems they're still too young to be going off but I think it's hurts the parents more than the kids.

I cried at preschool drop off, all three years, and at kindergarten, too! This year was the first with no tears. J goes to a montessori school, too, and I love it. He is in the 6-9 grouping.

Is it considered pre-school this young? I know nothing about it! I know I was looking into a Mothers Day Out program for Clara to attend a couple days a week, and I know it's just semantics, but I honestly don't think I could take her and drop her off it was called pre-school haha.

Lyra is so pretty! I hope she had a good time at the Montessori!

She's grown up so much! I can't believe she's in preschool already. She's too cute.

Can't believe how much she's grown. She looks happy about going
off to school though.How did it all go? Did Lyra like the experience?

Thanks for all of your nice comments! Lyra had a pretty good day yesterday, although she didn't nap. I'm not really surprised, but I hope she will adjust and start napping there eventually. She also didn't eat much of her lunch and came home famished, but she's one of those kids that will forget she's hungry when she has all kinds of interesting things to do! They have a snack out all day for kids to serve themselves, so I think once she gets used to it, she will remember to eat.

She is a very busy kid and so I think Montessori works really well for her since there are so many things for her to "work" on there. I think the kids in her class range from ages 2.5 (the youngest) to 4.

I needed something for her part time so I can go to class and do my work uninterrupted (I'm a grad student), and I looked at a lot of places- this one seemed to click with her!
