First Day of School

Macy and Fletcher started school yesterday. Kindergarten and Preschool, respectively. They were both really excited to go.

We got there a little early, so Macy and I stayed with Fletcher on his Preschool playground for a few minutes. They have these sweet school bus bikes. Unfortunately neither Macy or Fletcher know how to really steer or stop. We live on a big hill with a dirt road, so we don't have a place to ride bikes. With Macy driving the school bus bike, they managed to lose control, run over some safety cones and crash into a fence. Yikes, all in the first 5 minutes of the first day of school.


Time for Macy and Fletch to say goodbye!


Then we headed to the other side of the building to Mrs. V's classroom...



I sat with Macy for a few minutes, explaining that she would be meeting other kids, playing, reading books, eating lunch, etc. All stuff we've talked about before, but I was afraid that we'd have a big freak out. Fortunately Macy turned to me and said "Mom - GO!" Gotta love that!

When I picked them up, I was greeted with smiles and stories. Macy's first words were "Mom, this is funny!" (Meaning "fun"...she still gets some words mixed up.)

Hooray for a successful first day!
