The first day of school ran so smooth!

Hurray for D.P.! He did not get sick this year! But look at the expression on his face in the photo—that is the best smile I could pry out of him. Clearly, he was anxious before leaving for school. He said he grew more comfortable as the day went on. He is happy that he already knows 2/3 of his class.

D.A. was so excited to start 1st grade. She jumped out of bed as soon as I went in to wake her. She was dressed, ate breakfast and was sitting on the couch backpack in place before D.P. was even out of bed.

The kids arrived at school 15 minutes early (a record for this family!).

We celebrated our momentous event at McDonald’s for dinner and ICE CREAM!
