First Days of School

We consider this year to be the girls' first real schoool year.  Punkin will be in Pre-K (which is called Junior Kindergarten at her school) and Sweet Pea will be starting Kindergarten (which is called Senior Kindergarten).  This is their frist year to go five full days a week.  They were both a bit unsure of whether or not they were excited to start school.  After having a summer packed of lazy mornings and fun camps, it would be back to early mornings and a strict schedule.  They also weren't sure about starting at a new school this year.

Unfortunately, Sweet Pea came down with pneumonia a few days before the first day of school.  So, Punkin had to be brave and go by herself.  Sweet Pea ended up going the second day of school and then having to stay home again on the third day.  After a weekend full of rest, she was able to get back to school on Monday.

The feedback was good, and so far, we haven't had any tears in the morning.  Well,  maybe some tears from Mommy. It's sad to see them go each morning knowing that they're growing up.  I won't have them home during the day doing Mommy School until June.  Sugar Bear and I will miss them.
