First Day of School

Sydney started pre-school on Tuesday. She has been so excited to go back to school and see her friends and have kids to play with! She is going four days a week this year from 9:00am - 1:00pm, so that is new for both of us! I'm wondering how we'll both do. She was a little clingy the first two days, but went right in without even telling me goodbye today. She's already gotten "tokens" for being a good listener, which is always good for me to hear! I'm not worried about her at all, but I was surprisingly sad when I had to say goodbye to her on Tuesday. I felt bad b/c she has scratches all over her face! She said that Addyson did it, which is probably true, but then she woke up with a new one and she must have scratched herself in her sleep. It looks like a cat got to her!

Addyson also started "school". A group of friends and I are doing a little "joyschool" for our 2 year olds two days a week. Two out of evey seven weeks, I'll teach then be the teacher's helper. The other 5 weeks, I drop her off. This was VERY hard for me, even though I know all of these gals and Addyson knows their kids. I felt almost guilty for not spending one on one time with her since Sydney is in school. But, we'll get that time on Monday's and Wednesday's, and I can't lie, it is nice to be able to lie down for a couple of hours without feeling guilty that Addyson isn't getting my attention. She has had a blast this week with her little friends and I think it will be really good for her.
