With our preschool moving to their new location this week, they hosted an Open House to get acquainted with the new facility and share their excitement for the new school year. They had obviously been talking up the open house with the preschoolers throughout the week because Sullivan's excitement leading up to this event was apparent.
The night of the open house, Sullivan eagerly asked if she could change out of her daycare clothes and wear a dress to the open house. With no real reason why not, I agreed to her request. I followed her down to her room to pick out the dress and as I opened up her closet, she proclaims that she would like to wear a "fancy dress". This meant that she wanted to wear one of the dresses reserved for Easter or Christmas or some other special occasion.
I tried hard to discourage her from wearing one of those dresses, but with as much enthusiasm as there was on her face, I just couldn't say no. I thought to myself, "Awe, who cares?! If that makes her feel special and happy, it really shouldn't matter to me."
And with that thought, this is what we ended up with for the open house.....
Doesn't she look proud and excited?
We showed up to the open house and were greeted with many "Oohs" and "Ahhs" over Sullivan's dress selection. And while I am aware that she was extremely over dressed for this preschool occasion, in Sullivan's eyes everything was perfect - absolutely perfect! And that is all that matters.
And as excited as she was to wear that dress, she is equally excited for preschool to start. She loves her teacher, her friends, and everything about her new school (location). Here is to another great year of preschool!!
