at the door, ready to go...
walking to the Butler building
having breakfast
Millie and her new friendsWe arrived this morning around 7:35 a.m. and were able to take Millie to breakfast. If she gets there at 7:30 then she can have breakfast. On the menu was buttered toast, cheese grits and milk or juice. She tried the grits but wasn't crazy about them so we got a banana for her so at least she would have something in her system. But she was just so preoccupied with watching all of the other kids there, that she couldn't focus to eat.
Then we walked her down to her classroom and all the kids were waiting in the hallway. We saw some kids that are there on Sunday mornings and some new ones too. Her teacher, Ms. Nicole, walked up and said good morning to her and then asked one of the little girls, Natalie, if Millie could sit with her, and Millie went right over and sat down. Nicole was impressed and excited about that (no whining or crying). Then we told her that she was potty-trained and she was excited about that too. We told her bye and gave her a kiss and as we were walking out, she yelled, "Bye."
It was very easy. I can't believe that she is starting to school. And we felt very welcome there. The good thing is that we already to go to church there so we know a lot of the people. But it was nice for people to walk up to Millie and say, "I heard that you are starting school here today. We are so glad to have you." It's just comforting for a parent, I think, knowing that so many people love your child.
On Wednesdays, Millie will have to wear a uniform because they go to Chapel. So we picked out a navy blue jumper to see if it will fit. If it won't, we will just have to get her one. And they said that she could just wear a white turtleneck tomorrow (which we already have). I will definitely take a picture and post it tomorrow.
