Jenna started her second year of preschool with SUCH anticipation. She carried a photograph of she and her adored teacher, Lucie, around with her since the day camp ended a month ago. She asked every few days, "How much longer till school?" "I REALLY want to go!" And she did.
She made a last minute wardrobe alteration as Jenna really wanted to wear her most favorite silver dress. Jenna insisted this year on carrying her own backpack-thank goodness because last year Mommy had the pleasure of carrying it and often Maya!
One of the biggest changes in getting Jenna ready for school this year, was she opted to leave her baby Lilly home. Last year, Lilly was an honorary member of the T'layim class. She was Jenna's security/go to object in times of difficulty. Most often, Lilly remained in Jenna's cubby, only to receive a quick hug or smooch. Though knowing she was there in case Jenna needed her.... Lilly has chosen to stay home this year and bond with her other baby friends-Ava, Matthew, Brooke, Stella and crew. Jenna feels that Lilly can then have great times here in Wakefield and they can compare stories when she gets home from school. (Truth be told, Maya appears to be telling Lilly about her day and Jenna talks mainly to Brooke and Matthew.) :)
Jenna has been reminding us that she does LOVE school, it is only her first and second days and "It can take a little while to feel like it isn't you first or second day, you know." That being said, no tears shed at drop off, GIGANTIC smiles at pick up and details, details, details about what happened at school with her friends and teachers. We are so excited for this year in the Kofefim class with Lucie and Sara!
