There has been so much anticipation - both the exciting, good kind and the knots-in-our-tummies kind - about starting school this year. The girls both started school at their new school on Wednesday - Sophia first grade (!) and Amelia pre-K.
Amelia was so excited, she just could barely contain herself! She ran into her classroom and would barely say good bye to me. Here she is with her teacher Ms. Melissa
We already love Ms. Melissa!
Sophia was excited too, but she also had some major butterflies. Here she is with her teacher, Ms. Blaisdell
See how nervous she looks? At the end of the day, when I picked her up, she looked like this
I was telling a friend that the same thing happened in kindergarten - she seemed so much older when I picked her up from that first day. It takes so much courage to overcome that anxiety, and then when she does, there is NOTHING better than the pride and confidence I see in her!
She loves Ms. Blaisdell and seems to really love her new school. I love hearing her talk about her day!
Two things I love about having the girls in school - they go to sleep IMMEDIATELY when I stick them in bed, and they miss each other all day, which means they get along when they are around each other! Here Sophia is reading to Amelia - LOVE!

Those are nice pictures--it is really nice that they get a long so much better since they get a bit of a break from each other during the day.
That is my favorite thing about the boys I watch being in school. When I watch them when all three are home day in and day out there is so much more bickering then when they just get to hang out after nap time before bed. There is something special about siblings though.
So happy to see those smiles! Hugs to all of you! Love the new backpack.
Those girls are way too cute! So sweet. Miss y'all.
Sweet! That went well!
