S-C-H-O-O-L

 It's here.
The days with two big kids in school all day, five days a week.  It feels like just yesterday they were still just Bubba & Chickee, not even born yet.  And here they are, a second grader & kindergardener.  Unbelievable.
 Andrew with classmate, lifetime neighbor, & friend Cecilia
(That's the first that I've ever seen him shrink away from a photo because it was with a girl!  And so it begins.)  They're supposed to be this big...
No wait, THIS big.
Who gave them permission to grow up?
 After all that girly business, he insisted on a picture with his Cub Scout buddy Grayson.  No hesitation there!
 Rebecca was thrilled for her first day.  She knew most of the kids at her table at least a little, except for one little boy.  She introduced herself & then said, "You have a cool shirt on!"  She's such a sweetie.  Never mind the fact that everyone else at the table was wearing the identical uniform shirt.  ;)
 She sits with Ellie, Adam, Jaxson, & Gianna.
 There were many fewer parents in the 2nd grade room!  Growing up too fast.  Here's Andrew
 with his table:  Alexis, Jared, & Josie.   
They both loved it.  Sounds like it was a fun first day.  Teresa & I are still adjusting to a "quiet" house.  She has never not had a playmate since she's been born!  This may a take a while to get used to.  In the meantime, I get to play lots of Memory, pretend to be a pony, & read mountains of books.  Don't ask about how our house looks!
Love all of them so much

Look out world...

here he comes!Today was Andrew's first day at preschool. He leapt out of bed in excitement this morning & I could barely hold him off until after lunch. What a thrill! It sounds like he had fun & made a few new buddies. It's just amazing to know he's big enough for school . . . my babies are growing up!

And YES I was one of the moms who walked their child in, took pictures, & probably lingered a few minutes longer than intended. But I did NOT cry . . . he helped with that by being such a booger this morning . . . Hasta la vista, bebe . . . we'll see how I hold up on Wednesday! Rebecca was a little concerned on the way home, "Where's Andrew? Where's Andrew's bookbag? Where's his shoes? Where's his preschool? Andrew eat lunch?". For the most part she was oblivious, though. By the time we got home, put her down for a nap, & let her sleep a while, it was time to wake up to go pick him up! It went so fast! Of course I couldn't nap just thinking about how grown-up he looked as he shook his teacher's hand . . . wow . . . what a gift to be a mom! Have any first day stories to share?
