Miss Grace's First Day at MTA

It was a momentous day in our little one's life on Wednesday. We thought long and hard on this one. Letting her "go" did not come easy to me. It was only yesterday that I was rocking her to sleep with a bottle wasn't it?


Today she became a student at MTA. Yes it's a Pre-K Program but it's SO much more and that's why we did it. I'm hoping and praying we made the right decision. She's learning Spanish, she's learning the piano, she goes to Chapel everyday, she's in school full-time five days a week,  she has homework every night. Sigh...

Here she is outside with her BFF, don't they look happy?

Notice how they are holding hands for moral support? Too dang cute fur words...

Here she is inside after entering the classroom for the first time. Doesn't that look say it all?


So...it's been two days of mixed emotions. She misses her "old school" and her friends and teachers there. But she enjoys doing her homework and in off-moments we hear parts of her day which tell me she is doing OK. Please keep our little one in your prayers (and her Mom and Dad too).

  2. She looks SO grown up! Sounds like a good school, but I know it was hard to let her be "independent." We still haven't let ours go. LOL Some mornings I think it might be easier to drop them off at school than to open that classroom door at home, but I think I am doing what's right for us at this time. I'm still debating whether DB is really ready for K this year...poor girl still has a lot of play time that she wants to experience which doesn't involve knowing the difference between short and long vowels. lol Just watch little Ms. Grace for signs of frustration and make decisions based on your own "mommy intuition."
