Diana at school

This week Amelia's preschool class had a party to celebrate Valentine's Day. As she often does, Amelia's teacher invited Diana and I to come to school that day and join the party.

My intention was to let Diana stay for a few minutes while the class had their snacks and received their valentines. However, it turned out that the Valentine's Day party wasn't the first thing on the agenda.

Diana moved right into Amelia's class without hesitation and was invited to join with the students for "circle time" and "share day." Amelia and Diana both shared the Valentine's Day Disney Princess balloons they picked at the grocery store the night before. Once circle time was over, the girls got in line to wash their hands for snacks. Before moving to the sink with Amelia, Diana leaned over to me and whispered, "I got to have circle time and it was really fun!"

Diana did everything with Amelia's class and at the end of the day she told daddy all about her day. She played games, ate cookies, read a book, and played outside on the swings. She even learned how to do the Bean Bag Boogie! At one point, when the students filed into the office so that the teacher could photocopy her weekly newsletter to parents, Diana looked over her shoulder and whispered to me, "I'll be right back."

I think it's time we put Diana in school part time. She loves it, and I know she'll do well. Now if we can find the funds...
