Lucia's First Day of Preschool

I finally took the plunge and enrolled Lucia in preschool. Since we are lower income right now, she qualifies for the free State Preschool program. Believe me, I have struggled over this decision because it is not the ideal setting I would have for her, but beggar's can't be choosers. Last year we did homeschool, but I can't do it with a newborn and toddler this year. I knew she needed something just to get her off the couch in the afternoon when Marco and I are napping. So, I know she won't become an academic scholar from this program, but I'm hoping that socially, she'll come out of her shell a little bit, and she will get used to a school routine. She started yesterday and the first thing she said when I picked her up was, "Mommy, I didn't learn anything new today!" Oh well. I asked her what she did and she said they had lunch, played outside, had a snack and played some more. Ok then! Again, I have to remind myself that she isn't home on the couch. Her teacher was impressed with her when Lucia wrote her name and could draw very detailed people. So that's good! I guess she's on the right track.
