First Day

Always a favorite tradition in my family, the first day of school photo lives on in our house with Ryan and Lucie.

Yesterday's first day at a new preschool was met with much excitement and anticipation. The kids were up, dressed and ready for breakfast by 7:05 am, long before I had even put the muffins in the oven for breakfast.

Though super tired when I picked them up, Lucie and Ryan both seemed to enjoy their first day. Lucie was especially vocal about the day, chatting all the way home about the different craft stations she visited, her successful trips across the monkey bars, and the kid-sized bathroom (not an automatic flushing toilet, to her great relief).

Ryan was a little more quiet, but happily perked up at dinner when he told us all about his assigned job in the classroom as "Electrician". It seems for the month of September he is in charge of turning on and off the lights for rest period, outdoor play time, etc. Since we know he loves buttons and all things having to do with electricity, this is the perfect job for him, and one in which he takes great pride.
