First day of school

The kids started preschool this week. Celena goes 2 mornings and Cass goes 4 mornings per week. We decided to have Cass attend the "3's" class again (although he just turned 4). Since he has an August birthday and the cutoff for the grades is Oct 1, we didn't want him to be one of the youngest kids in the class when he got into grade school. So, we decided to keep him in the 3's class this year so he can get on the rotation of being the oldest in his class. And that way mommy gets to have him home for one more year! :)

Here he is dressed and ready to go!



Celena got to join him at school the next day. Little Miss Independent didn't want to have anything to do with Mommy walking into school . . . the big brave girl led the way!

Almost to the classroom! I was trying so hard not to cry - it was the first time someone other than a relative had watched Celena, so I was nervous. Everything turned out just fine - no tears, but she was definitely tired and glad to see me when I picked her up to go home at noon.
