Cora loved her first week of preschool at Ridgemoor Childhood Development Center. It's a program through the Grand Rapids Public Schools and Grand Start Readiness Program. There are 4 other kids in Cora's class from our seminary apartments! They know each other well already since we are neighbors, so that made it easier for this mama to send her off to school. I had to be very brave as I watched her get on the bus - she's only 4! But I was so relieved that she didn't hesitate for a minute (didn't even turn to look back and wave good-bye till she was seated) and I didn't have to fight tears until the bus drove away. The other moms thought I was silly and sensitive. Peter waved excitedly at the bus and then chattered non-stop about it for most of the morning. "Cora, school bus, big bus, Cora bus, big school bus" etc. We missed her, but we've been enjoying having our mornings together, too. Pray for a good year of learning and growth!
