Brooklyn Starts Preschool

Brooklyn had her first day of Preschool yesterday. She is going to Miss Mindy's Learning Adventure in Preston. It is the same one Ryder went to as well. We absolutley LOVE Miss Mindy as she has been a miracle worker with Ryder and she is ever so nice and cute with the kids.

Brooklyn was so stinkin excited as I got her up and told her she needed to get ready to go to school. She jumped right up and was ready in no time waiting for me to do her hair. She has been waiting awhile now after watching Ryder go to Preschool and now Kindergarten and she always would ask when it'd be her turn. Well, her turn was finally here and boy she thought she owned the world! It was really neat actually to see her so stinckin excited and smiling from ear to ear. It almost reminded me of the kids on Christmas morning. LOL Hopefully she'll keep up that big wave of excitement about school for a long time!! (fingers crossed)

I have talked to her teacher that Brooklyn struggles a little. Her speech is under par right now, but Miss Mindy has told me not to stress right now and she'd do some "testing" and some work with her and let me know her thoughts in a few months as to where she is and what not. Hopefully we can get her to move upward and improve. Even trying to do ABC's here she has no desire in the world. Hopefully someone else can get her to work and do it. Brooklyn also doesn't have a very good attention span, which is probably the age, so she will need some work in that department as well so that she can sit and listen to the teacher. I hope this all helps and I'm excited to see her progress through the year. Ryder grew SO much in his time in Preschool so I am anxious to see Brooklyn's outcome.

Suprise too; I didn't cry and didn't feel totally worried like I did when I had first taken Ryder. I did however have a part of me that was taken back that she was actually old enough now for Preschool. She looked so big and acted so big it was a tad bit weird. It was like an overnight change. As many of you know Brooklyn is and has been my hardest kid. She is a complete handful and VERY moody. She constantly seems to be finding anything to get into that she knows she shouldn't just to test my buttons. At the same time though Brooklyn can be so loving and funny. The things that she comes up leave you scratching your head and/or laughing your guts out! I wouldn't trade her for anything but yet those couple hours away for me was a breather and very much needed. It's amazing what just a few hours can do. :)

Here are some pictures of my little Brooklyn. As you can tell in a couple she didn't want pictures taken, she just wanted me to get her up to school. lol So now here is to wishing for good progress from her. Good luck to Brooklyn for growing and learning lots this year! Love her to pieces!
