First Day of Kindergarten & Preschool

My big girls are both in school now!!!  I swear they were both babies just weeks ago, so it's very confusing dropping them off for big girl school!  Sloan had a half day of kindergarten and is already begging to go back. She goes back tomorrow for a few hours and then starts full time on Monday.  I cannot believe my biggest girl will be in school five full days a week, but I am so thankful she loves school so much and is so excited to go!  Phayre Bear had her preschool meet and greet yesterday and loved it.  She begged us to leave and let her stay, just like I had predicted.  She happily pranced right into her class this morning, gave me the biggest hug, and then got right to playing.  I am so proud of my girls (but goodness do I miss them when they're away)!!

Not only have the girls both started school, but they've also started all of their activities this week too!  It's been such a busy week with lots of changes and transitions. I'm doing my best to get us on a new schedule and figure out which routines work for us, but I'll be totally honest and admit its been super overwhelming.  I'm not the best with change and all of these changes have made for an emotional week!  I know in a few weeks this will feel like our new normal though and I'm really looking forward to that.  Bless you Briar for going with the flow and tagging along on all of your sisters adventures!!

Sloan loves school and I love how eager she is to make new friends and learn!  Phayre is just happy to finally be in school like her big sister and can't stop talking about how many baby dolls and doll strollers her preschool has :).  I asked each of the girls a few questions before their first days and I loved their responses so much!
