First Day of Preschool!!!
Today was a monumental day - the babies started "school" at Lakeway Christian Church Preschool (LCCP). Davis went to a couple of summer camps there so we were already a little prepared for the surroundings and order of things. I took the kids to the Open House last week and met their teachers - we loved them all and I knew it was going to be a great year! They are going Tuesdays and Thursday from 9 to 1. They have a snack and lunch there, along with chapel every day, playground time, and arts and crafts. Over the weekend, Davis picked up the diaper bag and started carrying it around. A little idea popped into my head and I asked him if he wanted to wear his backpack - he LOVED it. So much so that it has been to Home Depot, worn during several meals, and on him countless hours of the day. Until then - he did NOT want anything to do with it. So we took the opportunity to talk about school and he has seemed very excited.
Here are a few pictures from last night - getting ready for the big day!
*I am finally caught up on my posts, so I hope to do them more often again!

Davis woke up this morning and the first thing he said was "backpack" followed shortly by "lunchbox." He was ready! Daddy made everyone his special breakfast - waffles!!! The kids chowed down!
The morning flew by and it was time to head over to school! I got a couple of picks, but Davis has his eyes closed in a lot of them.

We dropped off Davis first and he did amazing - we never had to hold him or anything. He went right into his room and put his backpack and lunchbox in his cubby. (I was a little scared he would not want to take it off!). We minimized the "goodbyes" with him and he did great!. Next week dropped off Anna - our little independent bird. She would fly from the coop right now if she could. Jacob, her little boyfriend, is in her class so they immediately teamed up! It was a success! (Note: I did forget their snacks though so I had to run home and get them. There was SO much to remember...2 backpacks, 2 lunch boxes, extra clothes, extra shoes, snacks, lunches, sippy cups....oh, well)
About 10:30am, after a little workout, I saw a missed call on my phone from the school. OH NO, I thought. Anna has a little runny nose, so I was thinking they might want me to come pick her up. Anna's teacher Miss Cami, had left me a message that Anna was playing outside with Davis and fell and has a little "road rash" on her forehead. She didn't cry and was all cleaned up, but they just wanted to let me know. I wasn't surprised, she is a little clumsy...and a climber...and not scared of anything!
Pickup time came fast and we couldn't wait to get them!
We got great feedback from the teachers. Davis was a perfect angel, but we already knew that of course :). Anna's class gets a little slip with notes from the day. It said: Today I was HAPPY. I ate ALL my snack and ALL my lunch. My favorite activities are: "Climbing on the sofa! Loves singing Elmo. Loves to sound like a monkey!"
Apparently she was cracking all the teachers up with her monkey noises. And they nicknamed "Sassyfrass". Again, not surprised. The day went GREAT (and she only came home with a little wound) and they are already looking forward to next week.
