Firsties

It's been a busy few weeks at our house.

Macy started kindergarten last week

and is L-O-V-I-N-G it.

And just for the record, I didn't cry.

I think I kind of surprised myself.

For weeks leading up to Macy's first day of kindergarten,

every time I thought about it I would tear up.

But the day came,

and the tears didn't.

I think between her excitement and mine,

there just wasn't any room to be sad.

Sure, it's a weird feeling to send your firstborn off 

into this crazy world,

and it still feels like yesterday that I was holding her for the first time,

but I'm just happy that she's happy.

Coleman started preschool today.

He's going to the preschool class I teach in the afternoon,

so at first I think it was a little anti-climatic for him,

but he is already super excited for tomorrow.

It's so fun for me to get to see Coleman interact with

the other kids in preschool.

He's a year younger than everyone else,

so I worried that there might be some social skill issues.

He's doing great though.

Participating, sharing and playing.

He sure is a cute little sucker.
