First Day of School......Finally!!!

So after missing our first official week of school because of vacation, Landon finally started Pre-K today. All in all, it was a good start. Clothes on without a fight, hair combed with minimal fight, teeth brushed, shoes on before leaving home, pictures taken and best of all no tears. We were a little late due to freeway closures and little brother tantrums, so the pass off to the teacher ended up being more of a shove than a gentle, loving hand off, but still, no tears. He was happy when he came home, but he did tell Steve, "we have lots of really hard work to do". Of course, his favorite thing, recess. He gets to bring his own snack each day and so he is really excited about his Spiderman lunch pail. His teachers seem really sweet and he knows about 5 kids from his class last year. For him, familiarity is the key. He likes to see the same faces and have the same routine each day. The program is 5 days a week, so we'll see how tired I am of driving by week end, but all in all it made for a great day.

Cohen took a l0ng time to adjust to time without Landon last year. He was usually rotten while he was gone making it not good one on one time. Luckily today was fun once his tantrum was over. Need I say, this crying fit was over a silly toy that Landon didn't want him to have while he was at school. I don't blame Landon since we misplaced a few Spiderman toys last year while he was at school. I did get a lot done....car wash, JoAnn's, bank, grocery store. Maybe tomorrow I will get a shower in there somewhere, too.
Hopefully I can post our vacation pictures tomorrow.
