Cerise began the day with a healthy breakfast before Adam drove her to school.
Adam pulls into parking lot of Cerise's preschool. He gets her out of her carseat, walks her into the school, and down the hall to her classroom with her.
Cerise is hesitant to go in at first. She begins to tear up. "Daddy don't go!" She cries as she clings to his leg. Adam smiles softly.
"Princess, Daddy has to go to work but I'll back for you before you know it." He says. Cerise continues to cry. "Promise?" She asks. "Daddy promises." Adam says.
"Please stay." Cerise says. "I can't baby. Don't worry. You're gonna have lots and lots of fun." Adam replies.
"Cerise? Come on in sweetie class is about to start." The teacher says. Cerise turns to her daddy. "Promise you'll be here to get me?" She asks.
"Pinkie Promise." He says. Cerise timidly walks into the classroom. She starts off the school day learning shapes and colors.

Around lunchtime, the preschooler begins to feel a little homesick but is also a bit relieved because her teacher is Tim. (😉)
"Uncle Tim? Can you call daddy?" She asks. "Sure thing kiddo." He says and calls Adam. Cerise talks to Adam and feels a little better.
Tim talks to Adam while he watches Cerise eat. "Yeah, she's ok now. Alright. See you later." He says and hangs up.
"What do we do now?" Cerise asks. "Well, it's time for recess." He says. Cerise smiles and joins Tim's class of 24 out on the playground. She enjoys the rest of the day. Before she knows it, Adam is there to pick her up.

"Did you enjoy your first day?" Adam asks. as he drives home. "Yes daddy. Uncle Tim is my teacher." Cerise replies before nodding off to sleep in her carseat.
