Our First Day of Preschool 2012

On August 27, 2012, we all started our first day of school, or as Nolan calls it, "sool".  I was offered a position to work in the infant room the same 3 days a week that you, Mack were registered for, and because of that, my boss offered Nolan the same 3 days!  Happy, happy times!  Mackenzie, you thrive when you have a schedule and routine.  The summer was fun, traveling and being lazy, swimming, and hanging out with friends, but as the summer was coming to an end, we were having some behavioral issues.  School is such a blessing for you.  You LOVE it unlike your Uncle Matt, but that's a different story for a different day.  :)  You asked every day when we were going back to school, and the day finally arrived!  You helped me pick out clothes for you and Nolan and you were very specific on how you wanted your hair.

 Nolan, you on the other hand, were about to get your world rocked.  You were so excited to be going, but I knew deep down that it was going to be a hard adjustment for you, and it has been.  You're on the same hall as me, but you don't know it.  I can hear you crying for me and it breaks my heart.  We just finished week 3 and you finally stopped crying (and kicking) at drop off, so I'm hoping this is all behind us.  Your teachers are Ms. Maria and Ms. Paige and you just adore them.  Even crying, you hug and love on them.  

 I love you, my silly, silly boy.

 Mackenzie, because you have a funky birthday, we opted to put you in a regular 3's class instead of the young 4's.  The young 4's and regular 4's basically have the same curriculum and I was worried that you would get bored with doing that for 2 years.  You're the oldest in your class, but you're a natural born leader, and you are such a big helper.  Your teachers are Mrs. MacMillan and Ms. Jamie and we are so happy that you have them.  They are a perfect fit for you and you love all the crafts that you do everyday!
