We began a new chapter in our family yesterday when Lucy had her first day at preschool. She loved it! <\/p>\n

In conversation with her for several months now, we’ve been talking up Lucy’s enrollment at the local “North Park Covenant Preschool”:http:\/\/www.npcovenant.org\/preschool.php. The school meets right inside a church that is just three blocks from our house — we walk by it almost every day. The room is bright and sunny, full of well-organized toys, and a child-sized toilet in the bathroom. (Lucy is very impressed by this.) I love it that the director, Miss Laura, seems to be as concerned about personal hygiene as I am, and includes hand-washing upon arriving at school in the routine. Fabulous!<\/p>\n

We had an orientation meeting on Tuesday of this week where Lucy and I both got the lay of the land. She had a terrific time making a mask with sequins (which she promptly removed). I learned more about how the once-a-month classroom parent volunteering works. The program is Tuesday and Thursday mornings from 9:00-11:30, and I’m glad I get to participate “from the inside” once a month. <\/p>\n

Thursday was the first day dropping Lucy off at school. After hand-washing (where she has mastered the push-button-and-pull-lever paper towel dispenser), she dug right into some play-dough rolling. Then she was entranced by the fabulous kitchen set and had a blast whipping up some “cheeseburgers” to “eat.” It was clear that Lucy felt right at home, so Rosie and I gave her hugs and kisses and trotted along home. When we picked her up a few hours later, she was glowing, and excited to introduce Miss Laura to Rosie. A good day, and we look forward to many more!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
