School has officially started. The last two days have been successfull ones for all three of the girls. Rachel started at Creative Preschool this morning and seemed to fall right in line with the schedule. She said she "wants to go back"! She met a friend named Gianna. Gianna's big sister went to preschool with Morgan.
Rachel takes time to pose with teacher Ms. Debi.
Nicole and Morgan started school on Tuesday for 1/2 of a day and went full day today. There were some anxious moments on Monday night for both girls and the thought of having to go to a new school was catching up with them. Nicole quickly realized that some of the children in her class were from her kindergarten classroom at New Haven and was already invited into a "butterfly club" at recces??(we'll talk later about clubs-help anyone). 
Picture taken at new school Beck Elementary which is exactly 2.25 miles from home, a 5 minute car ride-YIPPEE.
Morgan had fewer concerns about starting a new school and didn't know anyone in her 1st grade classroom. But when she got home she assured me she had made two new friends without difficulty. Morgan actually kicked Mike and I out of her class before she needed to. 
Nicole's teacher already had a theme set up for her first experience in second grade. A tropical travel theme. 
We bought Rachel a new backpack for school and when we asked her last night which backpack she wanted to take to school, she replied "Dora" which was Morgan's old backpack for preschool. This is where my early planning doesn't pay off.

LOVE first school day pics - I did em on my blog today too! Hattie is soooooo excited!
Also, keep the extra backpack, I am sure SOMEONE will need a new one by the end of the school year!
Plus, just be glad it isn't a BROWN AND ORANGE DIEGO pack. Hattie picked that one last year. Yuck!
XOXOXOXOXOX

PS - the b/w pic of the girls at the parade ... too cute! I am a cucker for b/w!!!
Hey, I was with you when you bought Rachel her very own backpack (Indiana, right?) What a little stinker! Of course she'd want the Dora one.
Glad to see that all of the girls adjusted and enjoyed their first days of school. They are growing so fast.
PS...Brayden has a cute Pottery Barn backpack (which I like), but he chose a Star Wars backpack instead (one bought by Grandma)I am not "big" on characters, but I have to tell ya, about 99% of the backpacks hanging up in his class were either SpiderMan, Cars, Hulk, Transformers,Hannan Montana or Princess...He fit right in!
