My girl is continuing to grow up WAY too fast and she proved it again this morning.
I have her in the "fun day friday" program at the local Y. It is part of their preschool program and it is just an extra "fun" day that they offer in addition to their m/w or tu/thurs preschool. I decided in January that she needed something small to start her on the path of some independence from us and get her interacting with peers/teachers but I wasnt ready to put her in preschool yet . So I put her in just the "fun day friday"
She has done SOOO well in this little program. I have been really pleasently pleased. Every week of the session they have a theme for that friday. Last week was swimming (they go to the indoor zero entry pool) and this week was fitness day. They also have gone to the library, sledding, etc. Well the program goes from 9:30-noon every friday. they have an optional "lunch bunch" from 12-1 which means you pack their lunch and they eat with their friends and you don't have to pick them up til 1. Well normally Grandma or nana pick her up at noon since i am at work...until today
This morning Izzy was very clear she wanted to pack her lunch! She kept saying.."I need to pack my lunch" so I asked her again..are you sure you don't want to eat with nana...she said YES! So we packed her a lunch for the first time.
I just talked to my mom who picked her up and apparently she had a great time eating lunch and even gave one of her "friends" a big hug when she left! My baby needs to slow down! I can't handle it!
So i guess iz and I better go shopping next week and get her her very own lunchbox for her "lunch bunch" because I have a feeling she will be making this request more often!

They really do grow up so fast. I firmly believe it's mommy & not child that has the hardest time adjusting.
Take a pic of the new lunch bag & show it!!
I completely understand what you are talking about! My daughter goes to preschool three days a week and she has been asking to eat lunch at school. OH I am so not ready for her to be gone all day. She is 4; and next year she will be going to school 5 days a week- it is going to be a tough adjustment for mommy. Thanks for the encouragement- I see that you did it and your little girl was just fine so I guess I need to let mine. I know they grow up WAY TOO FAST! She needs to slow down.
