Another 1st Day of School

Maggie had her first day of school yesterday. She is in the Older 2s class this year with Miss Connie and Miss Barbara or "Miss Coti" and "Miss Barb" as Maggie says. She was excited to go but right as I was handing her over the door, she started the tears but I think they lasted about 10 minutes. Our babysitters, Heather and Kara, checked on her a couple of times during the day and she was having a ball. That said, I did ask Miss Connie and Miss Barbara how her day was and this is the story I got: She took a toy from her friend, Clark, while Miss Connie watched the whole thing play out. Miss Connie walked over to her to tell her that we don't take toys from friends and she needed to give it back to Clark. In Maggie fashion, she gave it back but immediately followed it with crossed arms and a "humph" and proceeded to place herself in the corner. They said that each time they made eye contact with her, she switched to a different corner and they think she made it to all four corners of the room! They were laughing as they told me this story so that's a good thing. They remember this attitude of hers from the days of Kate being in their class!:) Connie and Barbara are awesome teachers and I know she'll have a great year.

It's nice to have both girls back in school and we're slowly getting back into a routine. We're looking forward to a super year for both Kate and Mags!
