Today was the first day of Mother's Day Out. Rory is going to Grace Episcopal Preschool in Georgetown. She goes Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9-1. She was very excited about going today, but once she realized I had left, she started crying. I probably would have cried too, but there was a brief parent orientation after I dropped her off, and I didn't want to look like a baby crying in front of the other moms. The report from Ms. Kara, the teacher, was that she only was upset for about 10 minutes. There are 7 kids in the class-all girls. That will be a change from the 2 boys she usually plays with. Ms. Kara reported that Rory loved the class library (surprise, surprise!) and played dress-up. Rory told me on the way home that she played Cinderella and had a glass slipper. She said she had a good time at school, and that Ms. Kara kept telling her that "Mommy would be back." I think we'll have a little bit of a transition, but I really think she is going to love school. I know I will enjoy the time to myself and hopefully be a better mother because of it.
