The Best Day of My Life

While A and JD were eating chocolate chip cookies tonight, A announced, "This is the best day of my life!" JD nodded in agreement. His mouth was too full to comment. I have Phoebe Buffay's grandma's recipe to thank for such praise.

First Day of School

We knew this day was coming - you know that commercial? Yep - my daughter started kindergarten, the day after she turned five. And, I know she's ready. She's smart and eager to learn. But, was I ready? Logistically, maybe. I got the school supply list and filled it a month before school began, including labeling each and every crayon with her name. But I, like most parents, probably, felt an emotional struggle. Did I prepare her enough? Will she be okay? Probably not, and yes.

She had a good first day - other than the fact that she only ate grapes for lunch. I'm trusting my pediatrician on this one - when she's hungry, she'll eat. But, hopefully she won't have too many grape-only days.

A with Mrs. Hutchin

JD is moving up from the Lion Cubs class to the Koalas. He did great, by the way. He loves his teacher and knows several of his classmates. He's also been using the potty really well. I LOVE peer-pressure potty training!
