Preschool jitters!

I don't know who was more nervous and excited this morning. Riley seemed really excited, until we got  to Mrs. Morris's house. When I told him to run into class he froze at the door. With Lorelei screaming from the car, I popped out, assured Riley that he was okay and to enjoy his day. Eventually he bounded up the stairs and was warmly greeted by his teacher. Such a flood of emotions come with a day like today. You try to teach your child at home how to talk and treat people. How to sit and listen. Then comes the day when you have to let them be their own people and trust that you have taught them all that you can. It's almost a helpless situation, but exciting to see them grow. 

Lorelei, had a little bit of a complex. She did not understand why Riley got to stay and play while she couldn't. (Hence the reason for her screaming in the car.) Hopefully, she learns and discovers her new independence while Riley is gone. It's nice not to be bossed two and half hours out of the day.
