First Day of School
Today was the kids' first day of pre-school. We couldn't believe it was finally here. We mentally and emotionally prepared for this day for months and today was the day! We started the morning with a trip to the bagel shop for a quick bite before starting our new adventure.
Then we headed off to school which started at 10 but we were way early. We were the first ones there so we stopped for a quick pic at the teddy bear sign. Our school is referred to as the Teddy Bear school just because of this sign.
Before making our way to Classroom 2 which is our classroom, we had to use the potty. But unfortunately, Kylie didn't make it there in time and we had to change clothes right before meeting our new teachers, Ms. Allison and Mrs. Janet. I was a little embarassed because our kids seemed to be the most boisterous of all the many kids that were there. They were running around yelling, "Hi friends!" And all of the other kids seemed pretty quiet, sticking close to their parents. Of course one of the things we did to prepare them for school was tell them about all the new friends they would make. Boy, they really hung on to those words. So, needless to say I was wondering if all the other parents were whispering, "Whose kids are those? They seem a little out of control!" But maybe that's just me being paranoid. 
Once the parent orientation meeting started, Daddy snuck off to see how things were going. All was well and he managed to snap a quick picture of the goings on. I'm sure the playdough was the big hit for my kids.
This is me waiting in line to submit the paperwork and pay A LOT of money for this whole new CRAZY experience. After an hour, the meeting was adjourned and class was over. Time to pick up the kids! I wondered what they would say about their first day. I envisioned three terribly excited kids jabbering about their exciting first hour of school. I just knew we were going to hear all about the fun they had. And when we signed for them at the door and they came walking out, not one peep from them. WHAT??!! Seriously, not one word. We kept asking and asking how their first day went. Not a word was uttered. What had they done to my kids? Finally Daddy said, "What happened to you guys? Are you okay?" And they got in the car and asked us, "Could you turn on the TV please?" Oh my God what does this mean? (I thought to myself) Well, we got home and they ate a big lunch and then went to sleep. This was the answer to my prayers, the thing I've been searching for. When they woke up they were back to normal. The only thing they could tell me about their day was about a song they sang where a shark ate a fish, belched, and then said, "Oh No!" All right, good enough for me.
