Finley's First Day of School

I picked Finley up at 2:30 pm and she was so excited about school.  Her teacher gave us her artwork and her daily report.  Finley "ate a lot of lunch", read "The Kissing Hand", did All About Me art and was "Cheerful, happy and played well.'  What a good little girl!  Finley had been taken to the potty three times, but didn't use it.  She was honest with me about it.  We had discussed she would get a treat at home after school was over and she said she didn't need one because she hadn't gone potty.  The teacher said she hadn't napped, she had quiet time, but hadn't slept.  Once we got home, Finley talked all about her day.  She was most excited about going down the slide with Max.  She loves her teachers and couldn't wait to go back.  Meerkat got left at school, which stressed her out a bit, but I explained that Meerkat was going to school and we would bring him home on Wednesday.  She ate a yogurt snack when she got home and then opened a package full of stickers from Grammy and Grandad.  She was tuckered out and went down for a nap, sleeping until nearly 6 pm!  And when she finely did wake up, she was still tired.  We are going to have to get used to this long school day.  Clifton and I gave her "Preschool Day Hooray" as her first day of school book.  We read it last night and it described her day perfectly.  Her elephant nap mat also arrived in the mail and she is excited to take "elephant sleeping bed" to school with her.  Hopefully, she will actually sleep tomorrow.
