The nicest woman in the world is Diane Greiner. When she heard about Scout, she teared up, and was at our house the next day with treats and a sign from his whole preschool. By the time she showed up, Scout was exhausted. It was towards the end of the night, but the second she walked in, he perked up higher than ever. I guess that is a sign of a fabulous preschool teacher. I love that he absolutely adores her. And I love that she adores him.

So the nicest part of her visit was when she said, “I know this might sound weird, but would it be alright if Navy came to school while Scout can’t?” ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!! I have been so sad that my poor girl has been lacking attention because I have to be so attentive to Scout and Dash right now. Bella has kicked it into high gear, and has been awesome. Mostly because I want her near me, but when I have a moment, I want to be with her. So thank you Bella. But thank you Miss Diane even more! On top of wanting to give her more attention, I have been wanting to put her into a setting where she needs to follow the rules from an adult. So when Miss Diane offered, I jumped. This would allow her to be in a rule-following setting, and get some attention she needs. I was sorried what Scout would think, but he was excited for her, and especially that she could bring his work home. So the next morning, Icka was up and getting dressed for school before she even knew what was going on.
Before she left, I pulled one of her presents for Scout to give her.
It was her very own backpack!
When she got there, Miss Diane made her feel really comfortable, and although she was nervous, she walked right in.
It took a few minutes for her to get in with the crowd, but after I left, Miss Diane said she fit right in.

When I picked her up, she said she loved it. She said Riley (Scout’s best bud) was her favorite friend. She got to paint, sing and read. She was super excited for day two. I was so happy to see that everything was working out, and that she was a fan of this change. I couldn’t wait for her day two. Too bad she threw up on that day. Poor Miss Diane. Poor Icka. Poor me.
I’m just glad that it was the day before the Christmas break so that everyone at school will hopefully forget before school is back in session!
