School Days

What a fun and busy week.  The kids started to school this week.  Yes, little guy is going a year earlier than big sister.  Tuesday was Meet the Teacher Day.  The first two pics were taken right before we went to meet the teacher.  Keenan would not have anything to do with taking a picture with his lunch box.  It was quite funny.  Bailey kept telling him to be still that mommy wanted to take a picture.  They had fun meeting their new teachers.  Keenan's teacher asked me was there anything she needed to know about him.  I said, "All I can say is that he is all boy."

Bailey was excited about meeting her new teachers.  She was quite wired. 

So Thursday was the big day.  The kids did great when I dropped them off.  I had a few tears when I got in the car.  Then I turned on the radio to K-LOVE.  They were talking about christian organizations on college campuses.  They started off by saying "If you just dropped your child off to college for their freshman year..."  My mind jumped several years to Bailey going off to college and then the tears came.  I had to quickly dry my eyes because I had a dr's appt.

Mommy's morning was nice and I had such a peace about them being at preschool.  I did not worry about how they may be doing, etc.  

When I picked Keenan up the teachers were smiling and said he had so much fun.  They said he loved his little music class.  He danced, clapped his hands and was smiling from ear to ear

Bailey did great.  She was a little sad in the morning but they said she got over the hump.  She was dancing and smiling ear to ear when I picked her up.  She did a handprint for me.  It reminded me how much she has grown since last year.  A few of her friends from last year are in her class.  And the big thing that she was excited about was that she talked at school.  Last year, Bailey would not talk at school and it became a little game at the end of the year.  The teachers tried everything to get her to talk but she would just smile and nod her head.  So last night at dinner she says "Guess what mommy?  I talked today at school."  She was so proud of herself.  

It is so great to see growth in the kids.  It is great to look back and see God's faithfulness and how He carries us through all challenges (small and big) and then to give us a little token to remind us how He has answered so many prayers.  

K- "I'm not having anything to do with this"  B- "Keenan you need to listen and be still"

"I'm out of here"

All ready to go!
