Today was the first day of school! Sierra didn't cry! Sasha waved me off before I could even set foot in her classroom. I think they will be ok. I didn't really have any doubts about Sasha. She's been at home at The Center School since the first time she walked in the door. Sierra has taken a little longer to come around to the idea of going to school. Just as in most other situations, she has to sit back and observe for a bit before deciding whether or not she's interested in doing something. Blue playdough, and the promise that Daddy and I would return soon was enough to satisfy her today. Here are a few pictures I took today. You'll notice that the before the cubby, entering the class and getting settled pictures are missing. That would be because my camera had the NERVE to quit working as we pulled up to the school. Thankfully, I have an understanding husband, who was willing to indulge his very anxious wife and take her to buy a new camera while the girls enjoyed their first (half) day of school. Pick up was at 12:30, and by 10:30 I was ready to go check on Sierra. Kevin was able to distract me for a while, and we went back, Sierra was eating lunch. Yes, I did sneak around and take a picture through the window on the door.
I went up and grabbed Sasha from her classroom, and snapped a shot of Sasha and her teacher Emily. Emily is the daughter of the children's room librarian at our local library, who we all adore. Sasha is happy to be in her class for the second year in a row.
After grabbing Sasha, we headed down to get Sierra, who was waiting with Kevin and Eva. After showing us how much she ate in her lunch box, and drawing she did of all the girls in the family, she was ready to go. She was not in the mood for any pictures at that point, but I did manage to snap one before she drug me out the door.
I have some more pictures to upload, that I took at the house before we left, but they require editing and frankly, I'm just too tired for that tonight. But in the mean time, feel free to ejoy a couple pictures of Miss Eva, and yes, that is her WALKING.
Be well~
