Kiah started preschool on Wednesday. Kiah is attending a MWF afternoon class, to prepare her for full day kindergarten that starts next fall. It was a fun day for Kiah, but a sad, tear filled day for Malea. Kiah of course loves it, but Malea didn't understand why I wasn't taking her picture (so you see the result - a picture of Malea with her backpack on too), why she couldn't play on the playground, or wear a name tag, or stay and play with all the fun toys. Males cried most of the time Kiah was gone. I can't say it has gotten any easier. She at least knows now that she can't stay, and we've tried to go a few minutes early to play on the playground - but, dropping Kiah off at the door with Malea not getting to stay is still hard. Any suggestions??? I am hoping to start a one day a week afternoon "preschool/playdate" with a few more her age (that don't take afternoon naps.
) We'll see how that goes.
Update: So, after we found out we were expecting twins, we decided to take Kiah out of preschool and leave her home to help out! She was a little sad, but I tried to explain how much I needed her help. It turned out to be a great decision. With no kids in school, I could do whatever I wanted to do that day. Which ended up being just about nothing outside the house. But, we had a lot of fun at home!

Cute girls! Maybe you can do your own preschool for her when you get home for a few minutes? Start her on an art project or something so she knows it's just something special for her and you?
Sure miss these great girls. Kelsey misses you Kiah!
