The First Day of Preschool!

Today was Francesca's first day back to preschool! She was so excited that she could hardly contain herself! For the last few weeks all I heard about was how she was so excited to paint, sing songs, eat a snack (that's the big deal in preschool ya know) and of course, wear her NEW dress and shoes!. I was so proud of her this morning. She marched right into her classroom, put her backpack in her cubby all by herself and met up with her little friend from class last year, with whom she hugged profusely about a million times. :) However, there was another little girl  in her class who was really so upset. Francesca asked me why she was crying, so I explained that it was her first day of school and just really missed her Mommy and Daddy. Francesca went right up to the little girl, in her Mother Hen sort of way and said, "Don't cry sweetie (yes, she said sweetie) Cesca's here, don't be sad." My heart just melted. She never ceases to amaze me with how kind and caring she is........ I love her sweet spirit!
