First day of school, first day of school!

It just seems so early to start school, but this week BOTH my kids have started preschool. I know I should be old hat at this, but I still find myself teary to drop my kids off.

Here is Abby her first year of school August 2007

August 2009







Today was Charlie Bear's first day of preschool. He only goes two days a week, and is so lucky to have the same sweet teacher Abby had when she was 2. We love Ms Marsha! We have been preparing him for school all summer, so when we dropped Abby off at school yesterday, and he had to come home with me he was not happy. I am sure he thought I pulled some sort of bait and switch on him. So today when we got him ready and packed up his backpack he was more than excited!

It appears that he is more interested in the acorn that he found than posing for a picture!

CHEEEEEESE!

With the backpacks

When we got to his classroom he ran in and did not look back! Selfishly I must admit that I got a little teary that my baby does not need me anymore, but am so excited for him to have a great experience at school!

When I picked him up at school I first noticed that he had different pants on. Ms Marsha told me how he would not let anyone help him use the potty, which is funny because he is not potty trained. She was shocked because he used the potty twice today on his own (one time more successfully than the other!) She also laughed and told me he is definitely going to be the alpha-male of the class, and that he is COMPLETELY different then his sister. SHOCKER I know!!!!! But she did say he is VERY funny and that he was a good boy today. I bet we are going to hear lots of funny Charlie stories this year!!!!!

This is a picture of Emma, Autumn and Abby the first day of school last year.


Here are those sweet girls today. Time seems to be passing too fast!


Abby and Autumn have been great friends since their first year of school.

We are really excited because Autumn's little sister Ansley is in Charlie's class. Charlie and Ansley have known each other since they were babies and play really nice together.



As you can tell it has been a very exciting couple of days around here!
