***1st Day of Preschool***

We made it through Annie's much anticipated first day of school. She was excited to go and not excited to leave, so I guess that's a good thing. Right after Jose and I took her to her class she told me she wanted me to leave right then. Well alrighty then! I suppose I'd rather have it that way than the opposite with crying and wanting to stay with me. To make the day special for Bekah as well, Jose and I took her for a little Pho lunch just the 3 of us and then picked Annie up from class. We topped off our special day with a trip to Rite Aide for ice cream...and now the girls are both in bed. Annie is exhausted!! I'm happy to report that she is excited to return to school next week...I hope this enthusiasm continues.

I might add that I've come to discover what a nerd I am at heart. I love school (especially grade school) and everything about it. The classrooms, the crafts, the paper, pens, crayons, paints, lunch pails, stickers, etc. etc. I was even surprised at myself when I was super thrilled to receive the book order form for the month. I think I'm going to enjoy this season I've begun as a mother of a school-age child.
