First Day of School!

Yesterday was Ava's first day of 1st grade.  That sounds so much older than kindergarten somehow!  
She woke up excited but I could tell she was getting really anxious once were inside her classroom.  It's always hard to walk away the first day. She said she had the best day though!  
She loves her teacher (who we've known from church for years) although she only has a few friends from her kindergarten class in her new one.  
She hopped out at carpool this morning with all the confidence in the world and she is all smiles at pick up!  I'm thankful she is loving it.

And today was Keegan's first day of preschool!  
He was excited and ready to go this morning!
He has Mrs. Sherri (Ava's preschool teacher) and it's fun to be back at her preschool.  Everyone remembered Ava and the teachers were so excited to have little brother Keegan.  
He would have walked in by himself if I would have let him.  He put his backpack away and headed for the toys with the other kiddos.
At pick up he talked about painting with a paintbrush, having a 'cookie' snack and the song 'move it, move it' in Ms. Connie's body movement class,  He is so excited to go back on Thursday!
I know this is going to be the best year for these two!  We are getting back on a schedule and soaking up the excitement of all the new fun they are having!
