Please search on something like this. I can't tell you how many times this has been discussed. Our cars have a built in safety mechanism. Te car needs to warm up before it can be driven normally. It is that way so you can't damage the transmission before the fluid is up to temperature.

But, yes it is completely normal.

Don't apologize. It's alright! Not a big deal, just something to keep in mind.
I just was just letting you know that you should try to use the search first, because usually there's a solution/answer.
