Kindergartners...It's Official

Ava and Reese have finished their first week of kindergarten.  Well, at least two and a half days.  Wednesday was the first day which was a half day and then Thursday and Friday were full days.  Not only was I extremely proud of Ava and Reese, I was proud of myself for not crying!  I had a lump in my throat the size of the Rocky Mountains but no tears!  After walking each girl into her own classroom (Reese first), they hung their backpacks up and gave us a quick hug and kiss before getting busy on the activity at their seats.  And that was it.  Mission accomplished!

Some highlights are that Reese is excited about the chocolate milk option at snack time and Ava already got to take snacks for her class and pass them out herself.  By day 3 this morning Zack said that the girls didn't even say goodbye at the front door of the school.  They just walked straight into the gym where they wait before school.  One thing that mommy and daddy are most excited about is that Ava slept until 7:00 this morning and I had to wake Reese up at 7:15.  That was on top of going to be a little early last night.  We are hoping that their normal 6:00 or 6:15 wake-up time is a thing of the past!
