First Day of .......

We had a couple of "first" this week...

Lauren's First day of Kindergarten Orientation. We were able to go check out her classroom, meet her teacher, put away all her school supplies and decorate her cubby. She was very excited to see who was going to be in her class.

Lauren and her kindergarten teacher. She is so nice, which makes this "first" for us a lot easier!!Lauren running to the car on the first day of school. She was so excited there was no standing still for pictures on this day!! I let Lauren pick out whatever (sort of) she wanted to wear on the first day of school. It made her so happy to do that!
Lauren and one of her friends from Abundant Life, she was very happy to see that they were in the same class!!
I packed her lunch for the first day and when she came home I was surprised to find that she didn't touch the pudding or grapes that she had requested. After talking to her.....she was very upset that they did not bring her, her snack out of her lunch bag at snack time. That instead they gave her something else!! Bless her little heart. So I had to explain to her that everything in her lunch bag was for lunch and they give you a different snack later in the day. "oh, is that why they call it a lunch bag?". Then promptly asked if she could finish her lunch!!
After the second day of school....
Mom, you have to stop sending my lunch?
How come?
Because today everyone else had pizza and an ice cream push up, and I didn't!!
So we decided to start checking out the lunch menu!! Which kind of made me sad, isn't that what I'm suppose to do, pack a lunch for my girl!!
The first day the Lauren and Cole both leave for Kindergarten and Preschool.

Cole's first day of Preschool. After taking Lauren to school he was ready to get to his school!! He wanted to make sure that we were going to leave him and that we were going to go home!! He just walked right in and off he went.
His teacher said he had a great day. No nap today, but was quiet. I didn't realize they would be swimming on the first day so I didn't pack his trunks!! He let me know about it when we got home.
When I went to pick him up, I got the greatest hug and a big thanks!!
Thanks for picking me up mom, I missed you when I was here!!

So sweet - it makes it all worth it when they get so excited to see us when we pick them up and I always love the big hugs!! Beclynn did great going yesterday too - I was so worried - but she was so happy to play with all her littel friends.
