Purple Room

Kaitlyn and Allison are in the Pre-K "purple" room at New Horizon.  It seems like every time I drop them off at school there is so much chaos in that room.  When I dropped the girls off yesterday, I counted and there are about 30 kids in that room, along with 3-4 teachers.  Kaitlyn doesn't seem to mind all of the noise, but Allison just always seems to be a bit overwhelmed.  From the moment in the day that Allison knows she is going to school, she tells me, "Mommy please make sure you tell the teacher that I want my cot by Kaitlyn and I want to sleep by her."  I always reassure her that I will communicate that but I also tell Allison that she can also tell the teacher that.  So yesterday when I dropped the girls off I found Miss Ashley and told her that Allison wanted to be by Kaitlyn during quiet time.  After Allison and Kaitlyn finished going potty I noticed that Allison and Kaitlyn's cots were not by each other.  Allison started to freak out and cry, so I told Allison I would fix it and I moved their blankets so they would be by each other.  Kaitlyn then took Allison's hand and they started playing with some toys.  I am so proud of them when they take such good care of each other.  It always breaks my heart when I see Allison so sad but it warms my heart knowing they always have each other in this big, big world.
