First Day of Preschool

Today is the day!!!

First day of preschool for Addyson and Braden!!!

They were excited . . . and a little nervous. Braden had a hard time going to sleep last night. I can relate. I remember many nights before school started staying up into the wee hours of the morning trying to sleep. 

I wanted to remember how they wrote their names and some things about them. Hopefully I can remember to keep doing this every year with their first day of school pics!

Mr. Braden:

He can write his name much better but he was in no mood to sit and write. Boys. Good luck Miss Tonya and Miss Joan. 

And Miss Addyson:

They have NO idea how blessed they are to get to do new things with each other!!! I was trying to tell them that the other kids don't have a twin to come with them to help them not be scared. They looked at me like I was crazy. It's just their life and they assume everyone else is the same! What's the big deal.

Can you find Addyson behind that backpack that is bigger than her????

Daddy even came with us today!

Karina was bored with all the picture taking and loved on Maddie instead.

Then it was off to school!! They are going to Berean Academy's preschool that is held at our church. A familiar place helped it be much less scary . . .  and the fact that they already know some friends in their class doesn't hurt either.

They did so awesome. Hung their backpacks up and sat right down at their spots.

Busy coloring and putting on stickers.

Ryan and I were busy chatting with the other parents and Addyson looked at me and said "Bye mom" trying to get me out of there already! Braden said goodbye and was great too. So glad it went well. 

There were a few things that surprised me about this morning. Addyson asked if the kids would laugh at her if she wore a dress. Oh. my. goodness. She is 4 1/2, not 14. Sigh. Turns out most of the girls were wearing dresses but I don't think she even noticed. 

She was excited about her jewelry and wanted to wear it.

Braden did so much better than I expected. He was so brave and did a great job!!!

So now it's just me and Karina. 

Apparently my babysitters are at preschool because Karina has no idea what to do with herself. Except look for trouble. Looking forward to some one-on-one time with her on Mondays and Wednesdays!
