Giddy as a schoolgirl

So we sent Maya off to school this morning. She is going to J/K at the Montessori school down the street. For that last week she was been telling us how excited she is for school and can't wait to get etc, etc.
So last night we tell her she needs to have a bath so she will be clean for school in the morning. Then it started and in between great sobbing heaves she says, " I don't want go to school", "i won't like school", over and over. We managed to get her clean anyway and get to bed.
So after I read her a bedtime story and and sitting in bed with her so she will go to sleep, she finally says, " I think I do want to go to school daddy, I'm going to go and tell mommy". So she jumps out of bed and runs downstairs to tell Anne. Then she comes back upstairs and promptly falls asleep.

This morning she was quite excited and very cooperative the whole morning. We walked with her to the school, and Maya smiled the whole way. When we got there school she did as the teacher said, put her stuff where she was supposed to and then sat down to do an activity with the other kids. She didn't even look at us as we left. We were definitely more nervous then she was.

So our little girl has her first day of school. It feels a little strange.
