Preschool Scraplift of Lisa DorseyQK**

This is a scraplft of Lisa Dorsey's “Preschool” that was in CK Scrapbooking School Memories. I really loved her LO but I'm afraid I did NOT do it justice. This is my older daughter's very 1st day of preschool. I finally scrapped it because she's finishing her 2nd year of preschool & I didn't want to get furthur behind!! I had a lot of journaling on this so I hid it behind the pics making a door. Not the best pics of these LO but you get it ;). Used QK Katie & Classic fonts.Journaling reads: Marissa's 1st day of school. It's here. Today she starts preschool at Kindercare where she'll be in the “Three's” class. We've been getting her ready for this for the past couple of months, explaining what she could expect to do at school. She was very excited & talked about it often. We explained that it was her job to go to school by herself. Telling her that Daddy had to go to work so he couldn't go with her, Mommy had to stay home to take care of Gianna because she was only 3 months old & too little to go to school. I constantly assured her that I would pick her up from school each day & she was happy. I was worried about her going potty because she was still new to it & often wondered if she was still too little to go to school. Joe woke her up bright & early & made a special pancake breakfast for her before leaving for work. We took a few pictures & then headed off to school. We walked into her class & met her teacher, Ms. Danielle. Marissa was shy and a little clingy, but managed to stand near the kids sitting down for circle time. I gave her a hug & kiss goodbye & told her I'd see her later. That's when she grabbed onto me for dear life! I told her I'd be back & she would have lots of fun, but the closer I got to the door the more the tears came & the louder the screams where. I was trying to hurry & leave. I didn't want her to see how upset I was & think I wasn't coming back. Finally, Ms. Danielle picked her up & held her so I could leave. The last thing I saw were her arms outstretched reaching for me. I was heartbrokern. I stood in the foyer listening to her screams trying to hold back my tears. I was struggling not to march back in & take her home telling her I'd never leave her again, when Ms. Kerry, the center director spotted me & saw I was upset. She told me Marissa would be fine in a few minutes & would call me if needed. This is normal. Normal?? I thought it was traumatizing!! For me & her!! I managed to get to the car, call Joe at work & then when I heard his voice I broke down CRYING!! My heart was broken & there was no reassuring me that she would be fine. Eventually, Joe calmed me down enough so I could drive home, but when I got there I cried myself to sleep holding Gianna in my arms. At 12:30 I called the school to check on her. Ms. Kerry was amazed that it was my 1st call, but said Marissa was fine 10 minutes after I left. She ate lunch & was currently napping. What a relief! Maybe this will work out after all. 9*7*04 TFL!!
