1st day of preschool

So, here it already starts. Chloe's first day of school gets all the news! And then those other little kids in the house...just left behind! The funny thing is, we made a huge deal about their first day of school as well! But they were still focused on Chloe's! They were still so excited for her...and she was for them! I sure hope they always are this way!
So here we go! On my calendar for August 28th, it says 'School starts for L&A&C'. Otherwise known as LAC, that stands for Laurel, Anabelle and Corbin. The night before we got our backpacks, otherwise known as "packs packs" ready, napmats ready(well Corbin had to use Chloe's old red one for 2 weeks!)and our lunch, otherwise refered to as "munch" ready. I got the kids excited about getting up that morning for school! Once again, I had to make special pancakes. Since CLC doesn't really have a mascot(I suppose I could have found a Jesus cookie cutter!:) and the little kids can't read, I just went with a teddy bear shaped pancake! So, Pink and Purple pancakes being made at midnight, seems to be a usual in this house! I made sandwichs for the kids in the shape of hearts! Of course I drew pictures on their chips sacks and napkins.. so they would know I was thinking about them!
Chloe was up and had already started breakfast when we got the little ones up. They saw their pack packs and munch bags and got giddy! We loaded everyone up for pictures in the front yard.



The same lady who was walking the morning we took Chloe out there, the week before, for her first day of pics, was out there again! Kind of funny! I wonder if she thinks we take pictures every morning of school! It was fun because we got to see all the kids in our neighborhood walking to school for their 4th day of school! We took lots of pics and then everyone came inside. We said a prayer for the little ones and Fred and Chloe headed to school.
The little kids sat down for their 1st day of school breakfast and then we also headed to school!



When we pulled up, we all said a prayer in the car. L&A really love to say the Lord's prayer. I want them to say a little more, but for now that is wonderful! Corbin just stays quiet and says, "AMEN!" It is precious!
The girls all but ran inside. No one wanted to ride in the stroller and everyone wore their pack packs.

Munch bags appeared to be too heavy, so I carried those! We went to Corbin's room first. He was SO CUTE! The girls kissed him and told him to be good. They wanted to be so big for him. A few kids were crying in his class and all he could do was say, "Bye mamama!" He was happy. Kisses to me and off he went.


I had to stop and inform his teacher he may not respond to Corbin, as he thinks his name is Bubba! Nice...
Then we head to Laurel and Anabelle's room. They were so excited! We put our things in our buckets and got our namtags. They kissed me and hugged me and barrelled in the door!

They had a great day!
When I picked Corbin up, he was so proud of every paper in his bin. Include the notes from the teacher! His teacher did stop me and say there was an insident, he as involved in. The first thing I said, "Did he hit someone?" She laughed and said no. Another kid pinched his face hard enough to draw blood. He had a bandaide he was very proud of on. I think she was worried I would be upset. I just said, "Oh, he is fine..I am just glad we were the victim!" Poor guy! Laurel and Anabelle loved the day as well. Anabelle told me her teacher said, "NO!" I asked her why... she confessed it was because she got off her nap mat! She told me her teacher wasn't nice. I said, "No, your teacher is right!" So we hung around outside for a bit until Chloe got out of school. We walked to her carpool line and picked her up. She was so cute in asking them how their first day was! We headed home, and before nap we had a yummy icing covered chocolate bar! It was our celebration snack for the first day!



So there we have it. I realize that it is just preschool/mother's day out. But I will only have 1 more official 1st day of school to celebrate after this baby arrives! Until then, I will cherish each milestone for everyone! What a year of 1st! We are so blessed that it is all going so well and everyone seems to love their schools!
