The day I have been dreaming about is finally here! The day I could drop all 3 off at preschool. I think I was so nervous/anxious/excited I couldn't sleep last night!
The kids had an orientation day on Monday morning. We went to the yellow room to meet the girls teacher Miss Lynn (it is the same teacher Ben had the first year). Then we headed over to the red room to meet Ben's teacher Miss Debi. So today was the first official drop off school day. I could tell Samantha was a little nervous, (she is always the one who says she will miss me when I leave) but she has a built in best friend which I reminded her of and that's a pretty special thing. At school we did the curb side drop off, which they had seen big brother Ben do many times last year and they got out and went with their teacher like they had been doing it all their life :)
I always said I was going to go relax somewhere once I dropped them all off and have a morning cocktail but I did the opposite and went straight to the gym for a new class I just joined called "bootcamp". I was fun and hard, but then I had to jump in the shower quick and be back to pick up the girls at 11:30. 2.5 hours goes by a lot faster than you think!
The girls are signed up for 3 mornings a week MWF from 9-11:30. One day a week they will do something called "lunch bunch" when they stay until 12:45. They are excited for this of course because they always heard about Ben doing it last year. That doesn't start until next week. Ben is in a full-day program on MWF which means he goes from 9-3pm. I hope I didn't make a mistake when I picked this program for him, as it is lots of extra driving for me. So pick the girls up at 11:30am, take them home make lunch, get ready for naps, and today they took nice long naps, which is now a little challenging because we have to go back and pick up Ben at 3pm.
They all said they loved it. The girls liked playing outside on the playground and doing painting. When I asked Ben what his favorite part was it was lunch and snack time :) The kid likes to eat. I got a few pictures from their teachers tonight, they are down below. One bummer was daddy left for Portland this morning so he missed the first day but they all talked to him on the ipad tonight and told them about their day. It was a busy day, I am glad we have a down day tomorrow before doing it again on Friday!
