Success: Day 2 of Preschool

Well, actually Monday was day 3 of preschool, but she missed Friday because Mommy got stuck at work. I was supposed to get off at 7 and got stuck at work until after 9am. Her school starts at 9am and Shawn had to get to work. She ended up going to work with Shawn and I picked her up about 9:30am. The only positive out of that whole ordeal was that I got my PICC line placed...on the 1st attempt! To those of you that aren't nurses, a PICC line is a central line that gets threaded in to the superior vena cava (or inferior vena cava) to provide long term nutrition, antibiotics, etc. You have to take a special class to be certified to place them. I don't get many opportunities on my unit to place them, but got a call to go place one on the other NICU. It was great :)

Anyway, Emma went to preschool on Monday, after a rough first day last Wednesday. She walked right in to her classroom, showed Miss Lori her lunch bag, hung up her back pack at her cubby, turned her name card over, and sat down at her table to start doing her morning activity. I was doing a little happy dance for my big girl because it looked like we were going to have a good day! I kissed her goodbye, she said, "I don't like when you leave," but was fine and told me bye.

When I went back to pick her up after preschool, she said she wanted to go back! She didn't want to go home. She said she LOVED her teacher and had so much fun! I am so relieved. Looks like we're off to a good start afterall :)
