First day of Preschool

The first day of school for Ellie was a smashing success! She woke up excited this morning, but I was still a little nervous after the princess camp experience -- she was excited that day, too... But, the whole drop off was seamless (and there were cryers there, too -- I was glad that it wasn't my kid this time...) :) She came home with the play by play about the whole morning -- lots of comparisons to Bright Horizons (the daycare in Illinois) - which kids reminded her of her old friends, which songs were the same (the weather song), which songs were different (the good-bye song)... and luckily, she was able to play with all of the toys that she remembered from Wednesday's Open House. As predicted, Nathan did want to stay and play -- and he was pretty confused all morning, "where's ellie?" "Mommy's car-car? Ellie?" He was glad to go pick her up (but again, he wanted to stay and play...) and then we all went and met Frank for a "first day of school lunch" -- one of the benefits of living in Omaha -- everyone is close enough to "lunch" together! Crazy to say, but it was good to have somewhere to go - a little structure to the day went a long way for us!
