Day 2

Don't worry, I am not going to give you a daily report of how Abby did going into school but I did have to brag on her a little bit. Day 2 was much better than day 1. She was still a little shy but she gladly went in and put her things away. Yesterday her teacher told them about the kissing hand. You kiss her palm and whenever she gets nervous she puts her palm to her cheek and remembers the kiss. Pretty sweet I thought, but even better it worked. Marty and I both kissed her palm so she should be set for the day.
She ended up having a great day yesterday. She really enjoyed it and was excited about going back again. It did slightly break my heart when she realized that she will go to school everyday. I told her that she will go to school everyday that I go to work (we'll discuss holidays later) She then said "Does that mean I don't get to play with Andrew?" AWWW. She was so excited because they went to the chapel and to the library yesterday. We also took rice krispie treats cut out in a star shape on sticks (ya know a magic wand for the princess themed party) so she was liked from the beginning. Hey, I have no problem with a little bribing. All in all it went good. I feel much better about the day.
We'll see what happens when we take her out of school for a week to go to the beach. We'll have to start all over but it will have been so worth it.

It is weird to think that now that she's started school, she will be going for many years to come! I love the kiss in the hand thing-we do that with Abigail when she goes to bed at night.
Hang in there Mommy! You'll make it!
