School (!)

Yesterday one of Sarah's dreams came true - she started going to school. A Head Start preschool, to be precise. It's a couple of hours a day, four days a week. She has been on a waiting list for 6 months. It did not look like she was going to get in until she and Mama visited the classroom a couple of weeks ago and inquired about volunteering. That seems like it may have helped her get chosen from the pool of applicants. She was so eager to get in that she cried and cried that day when she had to leave. Since then she always referred to it as "my school". "Papa can I go to my skowol?" But she is happy - should I say - ecstatic, to be in school.

Ready To Go!

Who's Gonna Cry? (Hint - It's Not Sarah!)

That Gleam In Her Eye

Sarah found her own chair by herself by reading her name on it. On day two, she was already ignoring Mama when she was getting dropped off since she was so focused on what was going on in the classroom. (Also on day two - she told us she had to go into time out because she was not obeying the teacher?? Sarah! We have to ask about that tomorrow.)
