Caitlin's 1st Day of Preschool

Today was Caitlin's 1st day of preschool!  She was so excited to go today!!!  Such a difference when it's a second (or after) kid because she has watched Abigail go for 2 years now and was so excited that it was her turn! 

It was also Mommy's 1st day of work and Abigail's 1st day at daycare so we had a lot going on this morning!!!

Caitlin had a great first day.  She went in with no tears...and had a fun time.  Not sure if she knows this yet, but there is a 2-way mirror that seperates her classroom from my classroom, so I was able to peek in on her throughout her first day...but she was so independent that I really didn't need to check much!

(Update:  Tonight at dinner we asked Caitlin what her favorite part of her day was.  Her answer:  "I tooted while coloring!". She's something else.......)

She's growing so fast and makes us so proud!!!!

My beautiful little girl!

So excited to get going!

Abigail joined in pictures too.  Abigail did great at daycare.  She had a little bit of a hard start, but I know she's my more sensitive child and that was the drop-off I was most worried about.  But by the time I picked her up, she was excited to go back so that's a great sign!

It's going to be a great year!  I LOVE Caitlin's teachers and know she's in the best hands!!!

love.

We attempted a "timer" picture.  Even Kramer got in on the action!

Finally her turn!

Dropping off her bag like a big girl!  She has a really young class of 2's (most who just turned 2) but since I'm the teacher in the next classroom, this is really the best fit for her.  She will definitely be a leader in the class!

Time to go in...but she was more interested in the kids around her!

Bye Mommy!  (Makes my heart so happy that she is so happy in school.)

It was a great 1st day!!!!!  Tomorrow is Abigail's last 1st day of preschool and Caitlin's 1st day at day care...but both of those are easy days for me!!!  :)

Today is also my beautiful, spunky, princess-loving niece's 2nd birthday!  I'm sorry Lucy that your bday landed on the first days of school...but we can't wait to celebrate with you this weekend and then you (and your mommy who's bday I missed too) will get all the attention it deserves!!!!  We love you Lulu...Happy 2nd birthday!!!!!
