1st Day of School

The girls had a great first day, probably a better day for Kate than Maggie!:) Kate is in the Middle 3's class with Miss Sue and Miss Beth and lots of her friends and Maggie is in the Toddler class with Miss Alma and Miss Veronica (Kate's teachers from the Toddler year).

Kate was so excited about her first day and didn't even turn back to acknowledge me when I dropped her off. Her focus was solely on the blue dress-up shoes! She and Caroline picked out the apples with their names on them, hung them on the tree, and headed back to the costume corner. When I came to pick her up this afternoon, she was playing quietly and told me to go "pick up Maggie and then come back and get me." I think that means she had a super day!

I was a little more worried about Maggie, to say the least. Every Sunday Maggie spends in the church nursery, she spends it mostly in tears. Since school is at our church, I was certain that I would be receiving a call to come pick Mags up. Surprisingly, when I dropped her off she didn't shed a tear and was happily playing when Miss Kara and Miss Heather (our baby-sitters who teach other classes) checked on her. Her report this afternoon said that she ate "some," slept for 1 hour, and cried "off and on." It also said that she, like her big sister, likes her personal space and gets frustrated if someone is in it!

Yea, no tears yet!

All in all, the first day of school was a success. One down, a bunch to go!:)
