Preschool 2011

Today the kids had their very first day of preschool.  We spent a good portion of yesterday talking all about school.  Landon was very excited and Kadence was pretty quiet about it which made me sort of nervous.  I had a hard time with my little boy adjusting to preschool last year and was wondering if I would have the same issue with Kadence this year.  Here are a couple of things my protective little boy said yesterday:

To Kadence:

"If you are sad at school, then your teacher will read you a book.  When I was sad at school that's what my teacher did."

To Me:

"If I hear Kadence crying upstairs, I will go up there and she won't be sad anymore.  So, don't worry."

So, after a chaotic morning of getting everyone ready, we made it.  We took Landon downstairs to his classroom first and dropped him off.  He was so excited to finally be at school and was not one bit sad when I left.  Then, I brought Kadence up to her room to drop her off.  She asked me to stay and play for a "little bit" so I did.  Then I told her I was going to leave and gave her a kiss and she was just fine! I even peaked in the window and saw her playing and happy.

Phew!  They were pooped when they came home but had many stories to share about school.  They saw each other on the playground and thought that was pretty neat.  Kadence said, "mom, I saw Landon and he said Hi to me, what a good brother."  Love these two little people so much!

Kenzie and I enjoyed our first quiet morning alone.  We made a trip to Target and then came home and played.  I don't even remember what it is like to have just one child. I never experienced that for very long.  It is amazing how much easier and quieter life seems.  I guess I kind of have grown accustomed to the chaos of 3.  With that said, I'll take the couple hour break as long as I know the older 2 are having a blast, too!
