First Day of Young 5's

Today is Lauryn's first day in the Young 5's program at Oakwood Christian Preschool.  When I woke her up this morning, she was asking for a few more minutes but when I mentioned that she could only have a few because she needed to get ready for school, she perked right up and got right out of bed.  This year, she goes Monday, from 9-11:30, Wednesday 9-3, and Friday 9-11:30.  I was a little nervous about her first day being all day but her teacher from last year commented on a facebook post that she visited the Young 5's and that Lauryn is doing great!  She's getting over a cold so I've been worried that she wouldn't have much energy or that they might call and say she started feeling worse.  I can't wait to pick her up and hear all about her day.  She was very excited that this year she gets to take a lunch with her.  I packed her everything she loves, hoping that she'll eat well.  Carrots, string cheese, crackers and applesauce - all her favorites, so hopefully there weren't any problems.

Well that was crazy timing.  As I was writing this, Lauryn's school called and I instantly got worried.  They started the conversation off with, "There's nothing wrong with Lauryn so please don't worry..." and then asked about the eczema on her arms and mentioned that she looked a little flushed after they had played outside.  We've been dealing with the eczema, on and off, for about two years, always on the inside of her elbows.  I'm going to bring the lotion in and fill out a form so they can apply it as needed.  As for her cheeks looking flushed, whenever she runs around and gets all warm, her face gets red.  If it's really hot out, her arms do too.  We had a nice talk and the panic I was feeling when I saw the caller ID on my phone has gone away.

Less than two hours and Lucas and I will get to go pick up our girl :)  I think he's enjoying having Mama to himself but I know as soon as he sees her, he will be so happy and want to play.
