4k & gymnastics

Our oldest has been showing a lot of interest in wanting to learn to read... originally I had given up on sending her to a preschool type thing, I had looked into a few things when we first got to the new town but the option they gave me was way to far away. I didn't mind if she didn't go to anything, she just turned 4 unlike the kids who are all most likely turning 5 in the next few months, and since I don't work full time I don't have the huge need to send her off... also I lost my baby and I think it is okay if I want to keep my children that I do have home with me a little longer than most. But we found an opening at a place very close to where we live, like 3 mins away, and it is for only a couple hours 4 times a week, so we figured we would try it out, if she hates it I'll just pull her out and also we don't know what will happen January, if we are going to be spending time in the NICU I'm not going to go out of my way to try to figure out how to keep her in it and add to any extra stress. Anyway today was her first day! She was asking to go all morning long, she only starts at 12. I think she may have been a little nervous and I could not get her to eat, just nibbles here and there, and I was so nervous I couldn't eat!!! but the time came and we went! She started off very excited in the car, waited patiently while we finished paper work, but as soon as we got to the class room she started to get overwhelmed! I told her I would stay until she was ready, but she was getting a little worse the longer I stayed. So one of the teachers had her come give me a really big hug, she started sobbing!, and had to say good bye. I'm sure she cried for a little bit, but with all the other kids there the teacher said she did good. Towards the end of the day she started getting tired and asked when it would be time to go home. She was really anxious, and I got there a little early, she was all ready to go haha! She started balling as soon as she saw me, poor girl. But sounds like it wasn't terrible. I am hoping tomorrow will be easier for her. She did tell her daddy she was pretending to not cry all day because she really missed us... haha. So honest.
But what she does like! Is gymnastics!!! On short noticed we stopped in last week to see when it started and it happened to start that day, so we signed up and went! At first she was NOT happy about it because the lady while registering told her I had to go outside and wait for her, so she got really scared about that. When we got there, though, the parents get to sit in the room in the back, so that made her super happy then she couldn't wait! She did flips and hung on a bar and did an obstacle course. That was a blast, and it was the Best Story EVER! She had to call grandma, and grandpa and tell them all about it and how much fun it was! Tomorrow we have gymnastics again so hopefully that will make up for the 4k.
Aww why do they have to grow up so fast :(
