And now it's Morgan's turn!

Today Morgan went to her first day of school! She's in a 2-day a week program at a school near our house from 8:30 to 2:30. SUCH A BIG GIRL! Last week we did open house and she was none to happy about being dropped off at play area while the parent's had an info meeting. Tears GALORE! So you could imagine the anxiety I was feeling as we headed to her school this morning - fortunately she was all smiles!


And when we left her in her class room with her nice teachers - she immediately grabbed some toys....and her blankie too and went to work. Now, we DO NOT typically allow our sweet girl to drag her blankie around with her in public but since she'll be taking naps at school it goes with her. I seriously hope she didn't have it with her all day long...but at this point, if it makes her happy and feel comfortable then to heck with our normal rules.


Mia said this morning as I dropped her off at school, I bet Morgan's going to fight a lot. I said, yes honey...that's ALL of our fear. But YEA FOR MORGAN - she's finally in school!!! Now hopefully, she'll learn to fight less and share more!

Kindergarten here she comes!!!!!!!!!!!

Here's our sweet kindergartener on her first day of school!!!!!!! Complete with her new digs/backpack (thanks Buela!) and new lunchbox/water bottle (thanks Grandmom!), she was set for the day.


Being the proud new kindergarten parents, Mat and I both escorted her to her brand new school. She was super excited and honestly I think I was the most nervous. She was super shy at the school's welcome party last week so I was nervous there would be tears.



Thankfully she was all smiles, even as goodbyes were said, and she had an EXCELLENT first day. In fact she's had a pretty great first week and seems to really like her new school. She didn't like a girl who wanted to use her blanket during nap time yesterday but fortunately the teacher settled that one and Mia survived her first little "bully" moment. Whew! So much fun ahead!
