Since everyone else has made posts about the first day of school, I thought I would be different and take a picture from the third day of school....or was it because I forgot to take a picture on the first day of school? Either way, first grade has officially started for Alex and Anna. I've been looking forward to a full day of school for a long time (six years in fact), but this year I surprised myself when I started feeling sentimental and anxious about it all. For some parents, preschool or kindergarten bring about these sorts of feelings, but for whatever reason, 1st grade did it for me. I suppose it has something to do with them being gone all day, but I all of a sudden realized how much they have grown up. My babies aren't babies anymore! Alex and Anna have always been special to me, partly because they were my first, and partly because they are twins. I love them so much and I am so lucky to be their mom!! For them, this is an exciting year. All they can talk about is how cool it is to eat lunch at school everyday, and see all their friends at recess. They haven't been anxious one bit. They love their teacher, Mrs Whitaker (as do I), and it is a comfort to me that they will always have each other in class. I love you two! First grade here we come!
