She did amazing and never even looked back when we left her. I, on the other hand bawled like a baby.
Diabetes-wise, everything was okay... she has been high since yesterday, and remained high throughout the morning. Even this afternoon we're having trouble bringing her down. But high is better than the alternative.
Right before I woke up, I had a dream that her BG was 742 and her ketones were 9. Can you tell I was a bit stressed about the whole situation?
The best part? She absolutely LOVED it. She told me her favourite part was cleaning up, and she made lots of new friends one of which she danced with. And I got to spend some unhurried snuggle time with Mattias. I think I could get used to this sending-her-to-school thing!
Check out these cute pics of Elise:
Come on Mom... let's go!
My little pre-schooler
Does she look ready?
Now she's not so sure
Great Pictures!!! So excited for her (and you too!) Wish I was brave enough to send Alivia to pre-school!
ReplyDeleteOh my...she is adorable!! I have to say, preschool is so great for kids - most of them really enjoy it and I know Adam would be heartbroken not to be able to go. Glad she had a great first day!

ReplyDeleteLove that pic...where it says "does she look ready?"...TOTALLY. She looks so grown up to me Joanne. (((HUGS)) I know it had to be difficult, but it sounds like you enjoyed the time with Mattias once the two of you were left alone together.
ReplyDeleteYAY for Elise! Yay for Elise!!!
Tell her that her that her American Portuguese Auntie says "HI" and to have fun in school!!! School is COOL!
She's absolutely adorable! And she looks like she doesn't have a single diabetes care in the world!
