Yesterday was Jessica’s first day of school. I was excited for her and scared at the same time. She hates the church nursery at SHPC and is not the biggest fan of Mommy leaving and even sometimes not the biggest fan of Daddy leaving in the morning to go to work. But apparently, I didn’t need to be worried.
I, of course, want to scrapbook this momentous event. I really liked this sketch from Sassy Lil’ Sketches and thought it would work really well with the best picture I was able to get of Jessica on her first day of school. You might notice she’s pointing at the Elmo on her shirt. That was the only way I could get her to look at me, by asking what was on her shirt.

Journaling reads: This year, Jessica started attending the Mother’s Day Out Program at Abiding Love Lutheran Church on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9 AM to 1 PM. Her teachers, Ms. Karen and Ms. Lacy, said her first day went great. She only cried for about 5 minutes after Daddy dropped her off. Another little girl came up and gave her a hug and said it was okay. After that, she enjoyed playing with the other kids in her class.
