First day of preschool (pics too!)

Today was their first day of preschool and it went pretty well. They didn't cry when we left, hardly seemed to notice. The teacher said Ainsley jumped right in and participated in activities, but Bea needed some coaxing and was shy. That's what I was expecting. They were fine but quiet when we picked them up, probably thinking "what was all that about?". I wish they could really tell me what they did at school.

Here's some pictures we took before leaving and when we dropped them off. Pictures

 

Glad to hear it went well They are so cute! Today was our first day back too!

 

Adorable pics! I'm so glad that they did so well. Mine start tomorrow!

 

That's so exciting. I'm glad it went well. The pics are cute...but I have to say my favorite is the close up of Bea in her car seat...I just can't resist those beautiful eyes!

 

So cute! Are they going to 2 yr preschool?

 

How cute. I'm glad it went so great. Ours start tomorrow, but we go with them the first two days. I hope our situation turns out like yours did.

 

So cute! Glad it went well! Did mommy cry?

I'm afraid I'm going to be a blubbering idiot when I leave my girls at school for their first day Monday.

 

Cute pictures Kelly! I am sure they are going to enjoy going to school! :wub:

 

I'm glad it went well. They look so cute with their little bags!

 

Beautiful girls!! And great pics. I'm glad they enjoyed themselves, and hope that soon they'll be telling you every single detail of their day

Yes, it's a two year old program at a local preschool. It's a small class, only 12 children, and thankfully they don't need to be potty trained. It's two hours a day, twice a week. It was a nice little break yesterday.

Surprisingly, no, I didn't cry! I tried to keep myself busy during the two hours and did a ton of cleaning, OK and wasted some time on the computer. They hardly noticed when we left. I think tomorrow might be a little harder at drop off time because now they will know that we're leaving.

 

Cute pics. Enjoy the break. I am sure they will love going to school.

 

Those pics are absolutely adorable!!!! They look so "grown-up." What an exciting time.

 

So how did the 2nd day go? I'm glad to hear the first went well.

It's Tues & Thurs so tomorrow will be the second day. I'll let you all know!

 

Kelly! First of all, the girls are gorgeous as usual - I also love that one of Bea with her baby blues . Secondly, I am SO RELIEVED to hear it went well - as you know, I'm a nervous wreck about ours starting in two weeks. Thirdly, how did today go?

so is yours 9-12 also? then you came home, did lunch and then nap? and they were fine with the routine? just trying to plan ahead .

 

It's 9-11, but we usually do lunch at 11:30, so that fits well. We came home, did lunch, a little play time, then nap. Naps have been hit and miss anyway, so I can't say if preschool is interfering. Tuesday they did not nap, today they might be asleep, I haven't heard anything in a few minutes.

Today Ainsley got fussy after picking them up, I'm not really sure why, but she was fine once we got home. I asked the teacher today how they are doing and she said good, but they are really quiet, but participating and following directions. They make little crafts every day (just a cardboard shape with things glued on it) and they have both brought their crafts home. I wish they had a webcam so I could see what they are doing! I'm just dying to know every little detail of what they do.
