Today is Gigi's first day of pre-preschool, a two-year old program at Waiokeola Church.

This is Gigi leaving our house. She doesn't look very happy. :(

Here she is with a smile. I told her that school would be fun!

Now we are waiting at the crosswalk. We park at Kahala Mall and cross the street to the school.

Gigi walked right to her classroom.

But when she got to the door, Gigi looked liked she had second thoughts.

Gigi pulled me into the play room with her.

The other parents were all hanging around with their children, but we're supposed to leave within a few minutes of arriving.

As soon as I started to say goodbye, Gigi started to cry. Ms. Lynn was there to comfort her, along with Ms. Vanessa and Ms. Cara. In fact, the majority of the children cried when the parents started to leave.

I immediately went to the opening of Whole Foods. It was amazing! Then I ran several errands for Gigi's birthday party, but I got a call after an hour saying to come back and pick Gigi up. Ms. Cara said that Gigi did not stop crying since I left. :0

Both Papa and I got the messages from Ms. Cara, me on my cell phone, and Papa on the home phone. We both arrived at the school to pick Gigi up. Hopefully, she'll do better on Friday.
