I can hardly believe that Claire has started Kindergarten. She actually had two first day of school, which is why she had on different clothes in some of the pictures. Monday was orientation, and she was so mad that I wouldn't just let her go by herself. She actually picked up her backpack and told me she was leaving. We can see the school from our house, but there are 2 streets she would have to cross, so there is no way that is happening yet. She is also having a hard time understanding that you just can't go to school when you are dressed and ready to go. She is in afternoon Kindergarten, which works well with my schedule, but I think she would rather go earlier. Her real first day was yesterday, and it was a little hard to leave her out on the playground. She just stood there and watched us walk away. I couldn't get any pictures of her in her classroom, because they don't go in until the teacher is done with lunch. I guess I will be the crazy picture taking mom at school parties and back to school night. She had the cutest conversation with Owen before she left:
"Owen, I'm going to kindergarten - are you going to miss me?"
"Owen, will you miss me?"
Owen then says in his nonchalant way, "Yes." Which he really did - he could hardly wait for us to go and get her. This will be an adjustment for all of us. She had a great first day of school, and can't wait to go back tomorrow. Hopefully her enthusiasm will continue all year.

I think I'm going to cry when Bryson starts on Monday. It does make me sad that Bryson and Claire wont be in Kindergarten together. They would have had a lot of fun.
Boy they grow up fast! I keep thinking I've got a long time yet before that's me sending my baby off to kindergarten. Then again, based on how quickly the last 17 months have gone, perhaps I shouldn't feel so comforted.
I showed Bryson Claire's pictures and he was so excited to see them and then he sat down and looked through your blog and laughed. He thought Owen in the life jacket was pretty funny.
I remember when you were pregnant with her. It sure does go fast. Enjoy your free time while she is at school. :-)
I had the weirdest dream about you last night. I saw some shoes that you were wearing on your blog that I loved...they were like the ruby slippers from W of oz. I came all the way to your house to ask you where you got them. So weird. After all that you had ordered them online and they were like $200! I don't know if I bought myself a pair because Claire had to get ready for school and then I woke up. It was so strange....thought I'd share! Love ya girl!
