First day of school



Finn and Sloane had their first day of school on Monday...tear:( Finn was actually pretty excited to go. He has the same teacher as last year and a lot of the same kids in his class, so he felt comfortable about going back. His class is going to be Pre-K and he will be learning and having fun.
I was a wreck dropping Sloane off. I never had to put Finn in daycare as a baby, and I can truly say taking Sloane in on that day was the hardest thing that I have ever done. Sloane had a hard time the first day. Her teachers said that she cried a lot about not getting to be held as much as she wanted. I dressed her up as cute as I could so that they would want to hold her. I can already tell that she has become more independent this week. Rick thinks this is a good thing, but it makes me a little sad.
The rest of the week went a lot more smoothly. Sloane's teachers said that she was pretty happy and loves to play. There is one other baby in her class that is as old as she is, but Sloane is the only one who can sit and crawl. Her teachers call her the grand dame of the class. It's pretty funny to watch her trying to crawl up and play with all of the other teeny-tiny babies. I don't think she understands why they won't play back. Almost every time that I go and get her she is trying to scoot on top of a baby sitting in a bouncer or put one of their feet in her mouth.

What do you mean dress her as cute as you could so they would hold her the whole time?? Do they not hold babies that aren't dressed cute?
