Evelyn's First Day at Grace Mother's Day Out

First Day of School

I have no idea why time is flying by this fast, but it hurts this momma to know my baby girl is big enough to go to Mother's Day Out. I still remember bringing the twins - and this week I am going look at PreK schools for them!

This morning was crazy, no crazier than any other morning mind you, but still crazy. We were all trying to get out the door and for some reason no matter what time we wake up we still can't get out of the door until 8:30! After Timmy helped load all of the kiddos it was time for the twins to bring their baby sister to her very first day of school! They were very excited that she was going to baby school!

These lovely ladies also took care of Riggs and Avery! Evelyn is surely going to gets lots of loving (spoiling) from Ms. Gail and Ms. Savannah! It was so good seeing so many familiar faces at Grace. I am really looking forward to the network of mommies again!

Leaving my baby girl...I think I might have cried if I had been alone. But I had to hold my composure to for the twins!

On our way out Sweet Evelyn was crying as Ms. Savannah rocked her for her morning nap. I'm sure she is going to do great today! After all she is the "good" one!

Daddy wasn't able to go to drop off but I know he was thinking about his baby girl! This is what he posted on facebook: started Baby Evelyn in daycare today - first day of school. in 24 years or so, she'll be wrapping up her masters or law degree and generally getting ready to tackle the world. I've already written her graduation card (in my head). good luck, little one. we'll be here for you - every step.

First Day of School

Well, the morning didn't go quite as I planned but we made it! Avery was not happy with the outfit I chose last night for her to wear. So she was extremely cranky all morning. Riggs on the other hand woke up HAPPY!! He didn't even mind that he was going to have to wear a tshirt as opposed to a golf shirt (his preferred shirt everyday!)

Riggs rode with Tim and Avery rode with me...this made Avery very happy. "big girls ride with mommy, and big boys ride with Daddy" Hope she is ok with Daddy bringing them from here on out!

Once in the classroom, Avery was sad, Riggs was just a little sad. They both wanted me to stay. Then we saw our friend George! That was exciting. I loaded up their cubbies with their new Dearie blankets! Then we headed out...Avery just cried for a few minutes.

My Happy Boy! He looks a little tired, we are gonna have to work on going to bed a little earlier!

Saying cheese...just not looking at the camera. Avery insisted on the hat. And we have to wear fast shoes. Mommy is gonna need to do some shopping for "school" clothes!

And no we did not fix hair this morning!

First Day of School

It's a fact...our babies are growing up way too fast. They are a little over 8 months old and they started Mothers Day Out (MDO) today!! I really can't believe it. Avery absolutely loved school...I think she loves the fact that everyone is there to play with her! She barely napped because she didn't want to miss a single thing. Riggs on the other hand was not quite as excited about this "school" thing. He started to fuss as soon as I walked away. I had to come back and try to get him down for a nap. Unfortunately he wasn't interested. His first day was a little rough but I know in time he will grow to love it. Who knew he was attached to his mommy?!? I guess this has something to do with the fact that they have been with me since day one. I didn't have hired help until they were 3 months old and even that was only one day a week.

Sweet Avery ready for her first day of school!

My little man talking away...thinking he is ready for school.

Hey, is that my name?

(Their expressions truly describe how the first day went)

It was so sweet, when I got them both sitting on the floor Riggs looked at Avery to see what he should be doing. I have a feeling I will be separating them when it comes time for real school just so they can each develop their own personalities.
