First Day of School

Maddie & Katie have started a new school this year and have entered into the 3 year old program. We have just started the phasing in process and have completed day one (730 am - 1130 am) with half of their class. They seem to love it so far - Maddie threw a fit when it was time to leave. She told the teacher (while crying) that she wanted to stay there and nap there. She also insisted on taking everything home that was in her cubby (you are supposed to leave the things in your cubby there). We go back on Monday from 730am - 230 pm, this time with lunch and a nap. Wednesday we start full time with the whole class (21 kids).
