Caroline had a great first day of school. She woke up and immediately knew it was school day. She knew exactly what she wanted to wear down to her shoes, and she couldn't wait to take pictures with her first day of school sign. We got to the church a little early and she must have asked me every minute or so if it was time for them to open the doors. We didn't have a formal goodbye, her teacher whisked her off to wash her hands upon arrival so it hurt my mommy heart a little to not get one last hug but her teacher let me know she was all smiles all day and even went down for a nap easily.
Ben had been out of town but was able to come with me to pick her up and she was so excited to see him. He carried her all the way out of the building, because she didn't want to let go of him. Once we got in the truck I asked what the best part of her day was and she said "all of it". And when I asked how her lunch was she told me she had chick-fil-a (which I knew) but apparently they didn't have any ranch to go with her nuggets, but she ate them anyway. The rest of the evening she would bring up little things that happened like learning to sit criss-cross applesauce, and having a bell ding to let them know to switch toys they were playing with. She told me all about naptime and how they turn off the lights and play music with people singing on a blue radio that has a button. I always find it funny what little things are important enough to remember. And though she admitted she was a little sad sometimes during the day because she missed me, she has asked us quite a few times now when she gets to go back, I am so glad she loves it so much already.
