First Day of Preschool

Today was Ava and Reese's first day of preschool.  Even though Ava cried at drop-off, it was a big hit in the end.  The girls got to go on a watermelon hunt for the watermelon that rolled away, they got to play with watermelon play-doh, and they of course got to eat watermelon.  They are both excited to go back on Thursday and while I am sure Ava will cry again next time, before we know it she'll be racing to the door.  Mommy got to make the drop-off and no tears were shed on my part.  Although it's bittersweet, I am excited for the girls to get this experience.  The tough part about having twins and not having any other children, is that you have your first and last all at once.  This was the first day of preschool for the girls but also the last first day of school for our girls.  I think about where we have come from with Ava and Reese and I am forever thankful to God for the opportunity to raise these strong healthy girls.  Three years and eight months ago, these girls were 1 lb. 13 oz. and 1 lb. 14 oz.  Now they are going to preschool!!!  God is good!
