Well, it officially happened. Despite many tears and protests and a little fit throwing (all by me...I admit it) the boys started Kindergarten on Tuesday. They had a great first day. Nobody cried...except me. Even the principal was shocked by the ease with which the Kindergartens transitioned. So far I LOVE the school. Really, had this not been an option, I'm not sure there would have been a first day of Kindergarten for my boys. Their teachers are so nice (they have the afternoon K teacher and an aid in their class in addition to their teacher) and the entire staff at the school is so welcoming. You can drop the kids and run (valet service in fact) or you can come in and linger for the whole day. It is entirely up to the parent! Amazing. The transition was made easier by the fact that we were able to meet the boys' teacher weeks before school started and stopped by a few times leading up to the first day of school to "visit" and check out the progress of the classroom. I am still having a hard time wrapping my head around the fact that this is a permanent situation...that my job will now be a shuttle service driver for the next 14 years...at least. I am also struggling with the loss of freedom to do whatever I want whenever I want to. That said, I am so excited to watch the boys learn and grow as individuals and I know that this is a good thing for them. I just can't believe we are already at this point in life. What happened to my babies?

The "Student Center," aka: the lobby in front of the hall to the classrooms. A gazillion parents ended up just hanging out here after school started along with the principal and the founder of the school. We were just taking it all in.
Four Kindergarten boys - best friends - two sets of twins, ready to start their first day of class together! How lucky they all are to have each other!
