Back to School Night

One week down... and Maggie did a GREAT job!
Everyday she had a smile from ear to ear!

On Wednesday we attended Maggie's Preschool
Back to School Night
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On a Bulletin board was Maggie's first day of school picture

Their first theme is Transportation...
Maggie painted this bus

They are also studying Body Parts and Apples,
thus a picture painted of Maggie's arm, hand and fingerprints.

We are so proud of Maggie, and we are amazed
at her independence and desire to attend school!

Way to Go, Maggie!
We love you... more than you'll ever know!

Maggie had a great first day of Preschool. I stayed with her in her classroom for about a half hour and then made my break with tears in my eyes. I have such excitement for what this year may bring... but it was sad to walk away knowing that this is only the beginning. I love my sweet little Maggie. I am praying for her strength as this year continues and for all the ways that she will bring blessings to others around her~

Here's a montage of Maggie's 1st day Pictures!

First Day of School

Here she goes!

I love this email I recieved from a friend...
I am definitely meditating on it this morning!

"We are praying for Maggie as she starts preschool. For you as you let her go. As a teacher you know how much this can help Maggie. As a mom, it is so difficult to let them go at any age, but especially when it is sooner than you would have planned. As you send her into the arms of those who could never love her as you do, remember that she is always in the arms of the One who loved her before you ever knew her, and who loves her infinitely more than you could ever imagine!
