First day of preschool! (Did I really just write that?)

I can't believe we have already come to that milestone in their lives! Even though circumstances just worked out that this was the right time for them to start and it's an amazing little school for them to be at, they are just so little! I wasn't planning on this day til at least next fall. There were so many new grown up things all at one. Many preschools you just drop them off for a couple hours at someone's house, at least where I grew up. But this was full on back packs, lunch boxes, boots and gloves to go out for recess and their own cubbys for their stuff, etc. They ate it all up.

Lila just discovered scarfs and hats with ear flaps. She was in love.

Tom stayed home to see them off with me.

I don't know if it makes it easier or harder that they did great, showed no fear and made everyone fall in love with them the first day. Logan even went potty twice on his own and many of you know that ranks up there in small miracles. I'm grateful and proud that they are such confident, happy, outgoing little people but it also makes me just a tiny bit sad. I think there's a little part of every mom who wants to be the only one they want (a REALLY small part in my case.) And then bam! Here we go with their first class party Tuesday, bringing valentines and signing up for party snacks. Did I say they seem too little?




Their teacher seems really amazing and they got the cutest status reports the first day. I just don't know if I can handle this growing up thing. I wouldn't trade having twins for the world. But, jeez it's brutal to do things with your kids for the first and last time all at once!
