First Day of School

First day of school!!!!!  I don't know who was more nervous, me or the kids.  Lol!!!  Gabe had the morning off so that he could help me take them to school.  I wasn't sure how either of them were going to react and I prayed that everything would go smoothly.

We took Zach to his classroom first.  And to my amazement, he was an old pro!!!!  He was such a big boy!!  He hugged and kissed us goodbye, took the teacher's hand and walked over to the rest of the group where they were sitting on the floor!!  I couldn't believe it was that easy!  I was relieved that it was that simple but I still got teary eyed seeing how big my baby boy has gotten.  :(

Next, was Sophie.  She did really good too!  But I have to admit, it was hard leaving her and I really had to fight back the tears!!!

Gabe and I went to breakfast afterwards, but it was hard to enjoy being by ourselves.  Part of me was feeling guilty, part of me was sad, and I missed the kids already.

As the rest of the day went on, it got easier.  I know this is the right thing to do for them and that they will enjoy going there to learn and have fun.  It's just the initial 'hump' that we have to get over first!

I was anxious to pick them up and see how their day went.  They both had a good day, ate lunch, took a nap, and got to play outside.  They both were a little overwhelmed when they saw me though... they both ran to me with tears in their eyes.  :(  I'm sure it will get better with time...

Here are some more pics from this morning:
