Emma PreK 2013-2014

2013-2014 was a whirlwind of change, decisions, adjustments and more decisions. We were living in Pryor in July and we were faced with the decision of what to do for Emma in regards to preschool. Long story short we decided to do a little bit at home and she went to a mothers day out at First Baptist Pryor. It was the best decision and it really turned out to allow open doors down the road.

 

So we treated her few days at MDO as her first day of preschool.

 

She really thought she was a big girl.

 

Evie got to go 1 day a week as well:) That was a blessed day for this tired Prego momma!

 

 

We moved into the house here in Owasso on October 31, 2013. Which meant no more FBP and we were faced with another decision of what to do. We felt she needed a more structured environment to get ready for kindergarten. Praise God the house we found was right across the street from a wonderful elementary. Roger and I went in and met with one of the counselor's and knew at once that this is where we would send our children until God opened up other doors. However, there was a waiting list. So we waited. Emma was able to do speech at Bailey in the mean time which was a perfect introduction to the school. One week before Easton was born we got a call that there was an opening in the morning pre-k class. Did we want it.... YES!!!!  It was hard and I cried at the finality of my little girl attending a public school but it was such a blessing and a burden taken off of my shoulders at the same time.

 

 

First day at Bailey Elementary

She had an eye bobo from something so I was a little paranoid with sending her with an almost black eye...but we had a one week to get that routine before Easton was born. She did great! We walked her into her class the first day. The next day we did the car drop off line (I thought she would freak and not get out). She got out and didn't look back. My heart was grateful AND broken. It was nice to have a few hours each day that week with Evie all to myself before Easton was born.

 

Long story short... she had a wonderful semester and it helped us both feel much more confident for Kindergarten. I love being right across the street and walking on the pretty days to drop and pick her up.

 

Last day of Pre K 2014

 

Emma Grace is a trooper. She transitioned through moving states, homes, friends, churches and becoming a big sister again. She did it far better than I could have imagined. I love watching her grow and learn and could not be more proud of her. Seriously, I get so proud just watching her say new words correctly, learn how to put her face in the water when she swims and saying her ABC's.
