And Off To Pre-School We Go....

Today was the first day of school for the twins. They were so excited! I was so nervous! What have I done? I know they need to go and I know this is a GOOD thing, but at the same time I am so scared! I kept thinking about all the things I do for them all day long. Stupid things, but things that at school they are going to have to do for themselves. Things like opening a juice box, opening a ziplock bag, going to the bathroom and wiping, not just yelling "I POOPED!" and waiting for me to come in, pulling up their own pants and a million other little things that I have done for them for so long I don't even think about it. Am I crazy? Probably!



So anyway, we got them up, (Okay, they woke us up!) fed them breakfast, made them lunch, talked to them about their school day ( they get a "breakfast" and a "lunch"). told them about buying milk at lunch, got them dressed, took some pictures, loaded them in the truck and off we went to school. They were so excited to be there. Me, I was a nervous wreck. We waited for the bell to ring and then headed off down the hall to let them meet their teachers and drop them off. They are in different classes. We took Caitlin first, it was hard. She was fine until we walked in, then she got shy. It was hard to leave her there, but I did it. I gave her a hug and a kiss, told her to have a good day and that I loved her and out the door I went. No time to cry, since I still had one more child to drop off. So we went upstairs to Christopher's class. We took him in, introduced him to his teacher. He went right to his seat and sat down, he barely noticed I was there. So much for him being upset by school. I gave him a hug and a kiss, told him to have a good day and that I loved him and again, out the door I went. So far so good. I didn't cry, I didn't break down, but I wanted too!

So, I now have two pre-schoolers. They are riding the bus home today. They were excited about that! Hopefully it was a good day all the way around for them! We will see when they get home! More to follow later! In the meantime, the house is quiet and I miss my babies!

Here we go!
