Kindergarten Day 2

Today was the first full day of school for the girls.  They went on Thursday then received their teacher assignments on Friday, we got Ms. Sherry.  The girls were excited to go to school again today they had been asking to go since last week and of course Monday was a holiday so they were anxious to go back.  We have to get them up around 7:20 which is about an hour earlier than preschool but they did well today, mostly because I think they were excited.  We walked them to their class and they did great they all sat at a table and started to color right away.  There wasn’t much for goodbyes except some waving and a kiss from Savannah.  I am happy they adapt so easily and seem well-adjusted but my heart was still heavy.  I only cried a few tears after leaving but the sadness just didn’t seem to go away.  Since I don’t work on Tuesdays it was my first full day alone in the house in I guess forever, it seemed awfully quite.  I got some chores done, went for a run with scott, and had a little nap.  It was a nice day and I’m sure I will enjoy it soon but right now my heart is just a little sad.  We picked them up and they were a little more grouchy today with everyone trying to talk at the same time.  We did find out that they played on the playground and had lunch and Olivia said they also painted.  Everyone agreed it was a good day and that they wanted to go back the next day. 

Now to answer a common question: Why did we chose to put the girls in the same class?
We chose to keep them in the same class for several reasons, 1) They are very independent and do not rely on each other for things, they had different friends in preschool and we hope they will continue to grow in their individuality here too.   2) It is a big change and I think knowing that they have each other makes it easier.  3) Another big factor is that it will be easier for us as parents to have everyone on the same schedule doing the same homework and activities.
