S&Z have been so cute leading up to starting school this week. We've been talking about it all summer.
-Months ago Zoe announced that she would be taking the school bus to school. We chuckled and informed her that someday she will take a school bus, but for now Daddy will be taking her each day.
-Last night Zoe informed me that she had a "missing backpack". Kinda funny that she considered it "missing' since we haven't bought any backpacks yet!
-We need to buy new sneakers for them on Thursday, so I told them we'll look for backpacks too. Zoe declared that she wants a blue one and Silas wants a red one. I'll be curious to see what they pick out once they are presented with a few choices.
-I asked the kids at breakfast what we were doing today, and they both said "going to school!". Without missing a beat Zoe yelled "DROP ME OFF!". Derek and I just about died laughing. He told her that he will only too happy to oblige next week.
-We were leaving the house to head to the "meet and greet" session this morning. Zoe declared "no car. I go to school on the school bus!". Derek told her to get her little butt in the family school bus :)
-One of the preschool teachers, Miss Donna, was the woman who taught the art classes the kids took last year. As we were getting out of the car at school today, Silas said "I want to get flowers for Miss Donna". Sooooo sweet!
I tried to get a picture of them as we walked into the building, but this was as good as it got. I'll try again on their first official day.
There are 21 kids in the class (14 boys and 7 girls!) so there are 3 teachers. The classroom is big and bright and full of fun stuff to do.

They had a blast exploring everything, but they still told us when they had to use the potty (yay!). They were the last kids to leave the session! There is an abbreviated class on Thursday (45 minutes) where Derek will stay in the building but the parents are not in the classroom. Regular classes, 8:45-11:15 T/Th start on the 18th! I am so excited for them!
We grabbed a quick lunch to celebrate before I headed in to work.
More pictures to come next week!
