Tuesday was the twins first day of preschool. David and I both took them and walked them to their classroom. Mrs. Christie met us at the door as we hung up back-packs and deposited diapers and cups. We gave kisses, and I said my standard phrase, "Mama always comes back," and off they went. My eyes immediately started to well up with tears which completely shocked me because I am not a "cryer." Neither T nor E saw me crying....thank goodness. I could hear Thomas crying through the closed door as David and I left. I honestly expected a phone call around 10:00 am to go pick them up, but I did not. T and E made it until pick-up time which is noon.
David and I both went to pick Thomas and Elizabeth up. We could see them through the door sitting in the circle with their papers. They looked SO big as we watched them. Mrs. Christie reported that E cried off and on all morning which I expected. This was a HUGE day for them....a gigantic adjustment for them as well as for me. The adjustment may take awhile, but I feel this experience will be so good for them.......

Oh wow. I couldn't think of two outfits more adorable on them for school!!! What a fantastic photo!
I want to cry just reading this. I don't think I could make it through the trip TO school if it was my kids' first day of school!
Good job Thomas and Elizabeth! (mom and dad too!!)
The kids are precious and I have no doubt you all have prepared them for this day. Unfortunately, nothing can prepare us as parents!
I know exactly the feelings you are experiencing. If you haven't yet, read our blog about our big girl going to kindergarten!
Miss you! So glad to have blogging to feel connected to you! Your family is lovely!
