First Day...Finally!

I've been seeing all the first day of school pictures for the past few weeks and it was finally our turn yesterday! Levi started the mixed 4's class and Mattie is in the older 2's. Mattie is the youngest in her class because she makes the cut off date by 4 days. Levi is one of the youngest in his class as well with that July birthday. They did really well at drop off; Levi ran into his room and I had to poke my head in to say "Bye! I love you!". He replied "Bye!" back but I didn't get a hug or kiss or wave. Mattie took a couple of minutes for me to leave but there was no tears and whining. We put her stuff away and washed her hands, I got a couple of hugs and a kiss before she got distracted by some toys and I quietly slipped out. My one Mommy fail was that I forgot her baby doll for nap time so it apparently took her awhile to fall asleep. And their dolls from the home center would not do. She didn't cry about it but just kept asking where her baby doll was. On the way home I asked Levi how his day was and this was the first time I didn't get an "I don't know" response. It took him at least 20 minutes of the drive home to tell me everything they did, who got in trouble, who he played with, etc. It was very entertaining. We're off to a great start so far!
