It wasn't easy getting the girls to smile this morning. The fact that they wear a uniform made the morning go quite a bit smoother.

tried for another picture again at the school, but the sun was in their eyes
YEAH!! The first day of school has finally arrived and our girls were wrecked! They were so nervous they couldn't eat breakfast or speak. I thought for sure Eliza would just breeze into the classroom and take over. Ahhh, no. She hid behind me, ignored her teacher, her eyes were glued to the floor, and she looked like she had just seen a ghost. (Peyton claims there is a ghost in our apartment, but that is another story.) I could feel Eliza's pain, but knew that this would be a great year for her. She loves learning and I just knew she would have a wonderful day. We kissed her bye and she pretended like we didn't exisit. She didn't even watch us walk out the door. :( She was just staring at her desk and the blocks the teacher had given her. It was like she put herself in a weird trance or bubble. I am sure she was thinking that is she sat so still and didn't move then nobody could see her. Oh to be 5 again!
Then we were of to drop off Peyton. She was just as nervous, but also a little excited. We walked in her into her room and three little boys from her class last year said hi to her. That put her at ease a bit. Her teacher is a cute young thing and I am sure lots of fun. We kissed her goodbye and she also ignored us. What gives? They are only 5 and 7! She also told me not to take any pictures of her in the classroom. I snuck one anyway and nobody saw.
As we drove from the school Kai started crying! He missed his sisters making silly faces at him in the back of the car. I was sad for him, but figured he would be ok. That child was cranky all day until we picked up the girls! Peyton and Eliza ended up having fantastic first days. Peyton actually said her day was amazing!! We couldn't be more proud of our girls!!
awesome! so glad they had such a great 1st day. i hope lil' D is as happy as they are. he says he is ready, but i know he will miss me. xxo.
