I used to ride with my dad in the potato truck and we would listen to Paul Harvey 's "The Rest of the Story." I miss those long summer days, my dad, and Paul Harvey; but now you may hear the rest of OUR story! ..."Good Day"

1st and 2nd Day of Preschool

Abby started her first day of preschool on Wednesday. I have been a little sad, but mostly excited for her. I worried whether she would be able to adjust to so many new changes, i.e. getting on the bus, school, going to a sitter until I got off work, ect. and it looks like I worried for nothing. I went with her the first day, and she didn't even bat an eye when I left the room.
This morning was her first day getting on the bus. She was a little worried about it, but I tried not to cry in front of her. I did really well, and so did she!
There are only four students in her TC class (TC = Total Communication, speaking and signing). I think there are about six or seven in the auditory only class next door. All the kids in the classes wear hearing aids or cochlear impants, and all of them are as cute as can be!

After class is over, the kids get to play on the equipment to wait for the buses. Abby's teacher is in the yellow (Ashley), the teacher's aid is in black.

Okay, she looks absolutely adorable in that outfit! How fun! I'm glad she adjusted well...it's amazing how we, as moms worry, and the kids could care less. I'm glad school's going so well for her...I hope it continues to. How's the job? Also, just fyi, I put you as my contact person for McKay's doctor...I hope you don't mind! :)
