Monday, September 17th, was a big day in the Wile household. Emma had her first day of school today!!! She was very excited to go, although she was a little concerned about the fact that I would be leaving her there. Ethan reassured her that Mommy always comes back to pick us up!!!
When we first got there, Emma checked in and put her stuff in her cubby. She left pink blanket and Froggy-Froggy there which I thought was a very positive sign! (For those of you who don't know, Emma doesn't do much without pink!!!) Then she went over to a toy that she had discovered at open house and began to play. She was very careful not to let me out of her sight! She got very frustrated with her new toy and things weren't looking good for me to leave. Emma loves rubber stamps and thankfully one of the art projects for the morning was making your name with rubber stamps. Mommy steered her over in that direction and was able to get her involved with that and get a quick kiss good bye!
Emma's teacher's name is Mrs. Stauffer. Ethan had her for his first year of preschool and we are so glad that Emma has her too! When I got to school to pick Emma up, Mrs. Stauffer was quick to tell all of us anxious parents that there were NO tears today!!! Emma came running out to meet me and said that she had a really fun time! She especially liked the cupcakes that she had for snack and was very proud of the fact that she peeded there!!!!
She is looking forward to going back on Friday and hopefully things will go just as well. We are also hoping that Mommy will be a little more relaxed! (Maybe we can skip the Pepcid!!!)

Hi Becky!
Thanks so much for sharing with us! Maybe I can learn to do this too! Phil & I celebrated 19 years on the 17th.....you ask where has the time gone?? Well, we are preparing to send Chris off to university next year! This is so scary....how can this happen when I still think/ feel like 21??? Johnny is now 8!
We are all fine, but spend much of our life making our house livable (we bought this old plantation building as it was the only thing we could afford....property is mega costly here!)...finally said to heck with it and had the most incredible holiday in Canada with Pen & Wayne as you may have heard....maybe you will see the cd some time.
William & Natalia just had their second boy(Nicholas)...Daniel is 4 1/2 yrs and also crazy about 'Cars'!
We hope to see you guys again in the not too distant future!
Your children are beautiful....and I am sure the apple of their granparents'eyes!!! Thanks again for the blog...it keeps us close together...include more photos of you and Mum & Dad!
Love form all in Barbados!
