Aubrey's First Day of Preschool

She was super excited to go to Miss Molly's today. She walked right in and when straight over to the play kitchen. But alas all good things must come to an end.....She totally started crying when I said I was leaving. I hugged her, said goodbye, and Kent, Colton, Addy and I left her with the most capable and loving preschool teacher I know.

Loving Miss Molly as much as I do, helps more than she will ever know. When I went to pick her up, all was well, just as I had suspected. She had a great day. Her very first job was wiping the tables, totally up her alley.

I think I will leave out the part about how she has had 3 melt downs since we got home 25 minutes ago.

Here's to Thursday, and many more preschool days to come!

Aubrey's First Ballet Class

So, before class at home she did this.....










When we were actually there, this was about all she could make herself do....



Fingers crossed this week goes better than last.....

Colton's First Day of School

Here he is in his wolverine t-shirt he picked and his transformer backpack. One of the kids he went to preschool with told him it was "cool" before class! I didn't realize his eyes were closed, I know, I am a total crying loser.


I cried yesterday. I cried today.

Colton hesitated when encouraged to check out the playground, but only for a moment. When it was time to go into class, he gave me a hug like his teacher told him and went right inside.

When we picked him up, the only thing he could tell us was they traced circles. Apparently he's not too big on details.

I keep replaying him hugging me and walking right in to class without even looking back, and then I start to cry again.

I am so excited for him to start to school, but I am so very sad at all the growing up that will take place in this next year. I feel like today we turned a corner.......... he was ready, I wasn't.
