First Day of School 2010

August 18, 2010 by Amy

In case you don’t follow me on Facebook or Twitter where I have been obsessively updating their progress through the day, the first day of school was…drumroll, please…a HUGE success! Every single prayer I prayed was answered without fail.  We got there early and took Emma to her class.  She chose a book and sat with the other 2 kids that were there calmly.  Her teacher had hall duty and I think she liked seeing her first thing. I can tell Emma really likes her.  Emma was extremely content (yes, I think I’m still traumatized from Kindergarten) so we left her for Lexi’s big drop-off. 

Lexi was the second to her room and instead of making them sit outside, they let them go in the class.  That was a HUGE help.  Those busy hallways are so overwhelming on the first few days! The teachers warmly welcomed them and directed her through her morning routine.  They sign in by using the smart board to move their name into either the packed lunch or tray line for lunch.  She sat in her square and barely looked back as we watched for a few more minutes from the back as kids started streaming in.

She had no hesitation whatsoever and that made me a happy momma!  Scott and I zoomed to the cafeteria for pastries and coffees after which I practically skipped out of the school singing dcTalk’s Free At Last.  So much different than the last two years.  I’m not gonna lie.  I enjoyed not having to run to the next town twice for preschool.  I enjoyed quietly working.  I enjoyed the house staying neat for 7 hours straight.  I was so ready to go get them this afternoon but yes, the break is wonderful.

We did go eat lunch with them today.  Scott with Emma and me with Lexi.  Both had great reports then and after school.  I have no clue what they did all day except they had a good time and enjoyed lunch as you can see in this video…

 

The only downside is 6:30 comes early tomorrow and the next day and the next.  I’m sure I’ll be begging for a holiday soon!
