This year Brielle got to go to school first. She started on a Tuesday at her preschool and Emma started Wednesday. Brielle was a little hesitant to go in even though her cousins were there and she's known her teacher for a long time. It was so cute to watch her come out with her backpack and talk about everything they did. She gets pretty frustrated when she does a project there and then doesn't get to bring it right home to show me! Emma was pretty excited for first grade. Luckily, she met two girls from our ward that were going to first grade, too. One of them is in her class and the other one we carpool with. The first two weeks of school she had several play dates with them and I'm so happy. I worried about her starting a new school and learning where everything was and making new friends. Her teacher invited us over to the school the day before school started and took Emma on a tour so she would know where she was going on the first day. It was so great! We love her teacher. She has been so nice to Emma. The hardest part has been on me. Even though the first few days were "short days" (where they get out 2 hours early) it felt like Emma was gone FOREVER. I kept checking the clock....wondering what she was doing.....how things were going....who she was playing with at recess.....when I could go get her and hear all about it. It was the LONGEST 3 days! And then she started full days and it was even worse. But she seems to enjoy being so much older and Brielle and I keep busy while she is gone.....eating Mac n' cheese and playing Barbies! It's fun to spend time with Brielle. And when their both gone? I've got plenty of unpacking and organizing to do!
