Today was Meet The Teacher day at my daughter's new preschool. I got to take Sydney in and introduce her to the teacher. I was trying to put myself in her place, and try and feel what she must be feeling, but I couldn't. I watched her little eyes looking around. She watched other kids play, looked for toys she could play with herself, and enjoyed the surroundings. She sat quietly for a while at the table and colored a sticker in her little sticker book. Then she showed it to me proudly. When we were done she gave her new teacher a hug and said good bye. It took the teacher by surprise as she had intended only to shake hands. She warmly laughed and said, "Oh, I like hugs."
It's so exciting to think about all the things that she is learning. Her mind is so fertile to receive information, and she'll learn so much. One reason that I couldn't feel what she was feeling is that I've learned all of that. I had my own experience in preschool that laid a foundation for a life time of learning. But the major reason was because of the overwhelming sense of pride and love I felt for my girl.
