First Day of School!!

I'm a little behind on this post but we have had a crazy busy week!  I have a feeling it is just the beginning as our calendar keeps filling up! 

Ashley had her very first day of preschool on Thursday!  When we got there she was a little nervous when we started walking in to school and she asked me to hold her - who am I to refuse that?  I know it won't be much longer and she won't want anything to do with me so I better take advantage.  When we walked in side we immediately found her buddy Will and Ashley was excited to see Will's dad Matt (or as Ashley calls him Mr. Map Will Daddy).  She has a serious crush on him - it's sort of creepy :)

We all waited outside the classroom until Mrs. Jackie opened the door and we dropped the kids off one at a time.  Ashley went in fine but after a few minutes in the classroom she tried to escape!  Heather and I were still standing out in the hallway waiting for the new parent meeting and I see her scurrying out the door.  I panicked and tried to hide behind Heather, which is funny in itself considering Heather is a tiny size 0!  It probably looked like a tree stump trying to hide behind a toothpick :)  Mrs. Jackie corralled her back in and everything was fine.

After the meeting Heather and I decided we should just go to Target and shop to deal with our children's first day of school for the rest of their lives!!!  So Heather, Caroline and I roamed around Target until it was time to go pick up the kids.

When we went and picked up the kids they were so excited and Mrs. Jackie said they had a great day!  They had a few criers in the class but luckily Ashley wasn't one of them.  I'm sure the fact that she goes to daycare helps since she knows the routine.  She told me later in the day that she wanted to go back so it sounds like it was a success!
