2nd Day of School

So we were off to Shelby's second day of school today, and as you can see she wasn't too happy about it. However, she wasn't terrified about it either. I will have to say that she was terrified on Monday since she wasn't sure about the whole situation and if we were coming back to get her. If you think about, the scenario was very similar to her from when she was whisked away from foster mom. I am sure she was taken from her foster mom, put into the orphanage (familiar to her), and then whisked from there into a car never to see her foster mom again. Well we kind of did the same thing to her Monday. She was taken from me, put into the school/church (familiar to her), then bundled up and put into a car again- fortunately this time it was her Nana driving the car. So needless to say she was STRESSED and confused the whole day.

But today was different since I was able to talk to her about what was going to happen. We talked about school and her wonderful teacher, Ms. Vicki. I told her about Nana picking her up after school and then mommy coming home from work to get her. Shelby is very smart and she really did seem to understand what was happening today. So no she wasn't thrilled about leaving me this morning, but she was crying just normal 2 year old separation tears today instead of the terrified tears. This is progress!
