Dilan starts preschool this fall and I signed her up for a preschool summer camp to warm her up to the school itself. It was three days and she was excited to go. It's interesting because as a second child, she's been waiting to go to school just like her older brother, Drew. Now she is finally getting her chance. The best part was the conversation between Drew and Dilan on the way there the first day. Drew was telling Dilan that he liked preschool and that they have snack time there. He was preparing her on what to expect. When Dilan walked in, she was a bit shy to meet her counselor, Ms. Tessa. But after I signed her in to the dolphin group, she went to sit down at the grey table and once she took a seat, she turned to me and waved saying, "Bye, Mommy!" That was my cue. I gave her a hug and kiss and Drew gave her a hug and kiss and we told her we'd be back to pick her up later. As we walked out, Drew mentioned, "I'm going to miss Dilan." It was very sweet.
Dilan loved preschool and was very happy to go back each day. She did arts and crafts and a service project. The last day was "water day" where they wore their camp t-shirts and swim suits and had water slides to play on. What a great introduction to preschool and I can't wait for her first day this fall!
At the end of each day, the kids sang songs and here is Dilan with pure joy on her face dancing away!
And swinging her arms around and around while I was secretly hoping she wouldn't hit anyone.

It would have been cooler if she hit someone.
