Little Livi Goes to School

Livi has been in speech therapy for the last six months. Now we are adding a toddler class to her in-home sessions. I was really worried that she would throw a fit without me, like she did at the gym daycare (where I was called to come get her after only five minutes).

I told her she was going to school, and that mommy can't stay there, and that she can't cry at school. I wasn't sure how much of that would resonate with a two-year old. She picked out her shirt and we got her ready, and of course, took pictures.


Then I took her to class and introduced her to her teachers. It was nice to see there were only eight kids and three teachers. She instantly gravitated to the toys and said, "Bye Mommy".
I left the room and stayed by the door to wait for her to realize that I actually left.

Um, yeah, she didn't care.

That was bitter-sweet. Okay, it was mostly sweet. I was so proud of her and happy to know that I can leave her in a classroom environment and not have her go nuts. Saweet.

When I picked her up, they said that she was quite the "Leader".

Translation: She is BOSSY!

Glad to see she was being herself in class.

The other good news...she ate the snack.

With her eating issues, I was nervous that she might not eat, but when I got there, she was shoving her face.

On the way home, she said, "no kye at tool mommy. no kye"

Translation: no cry at school mommy. no cry.

I guess she understood a lot more than I gave her credit for.

I love you Liv Liv!
