hello, preschool!

today was a very big day at our house, and along with the excitement came a big change. cale and lily started a new preschool. they were both super excited. ok, honestly, lily was just excited because everyone else was excited about something. but we were, all of us.

cale is in the 4 year old program and lily in the 2 year old class.

he has his own desk with his name on it!

awww... aren't they cute!

mama's baby boy. ok, so he isn't really a baby anymore... he's in preschool!!!!!

now, i know you're looking for pictures of lily, but there really aren't any from this morning. her teacher was trying to distract her with toys and i didn't want to interrupt and cause her to have a meltdown (which she didn't have, by the way). she got a tad panicky when her teacher picked her up, but then they were off to discover the new toys. lily's teacher said she had a great first day... that makes her mama happy.

just a little note for those of you who had the pleasure of dealing with me thursday and friday (and you know who you are, but i wouldn't blame you if you denied it)... first, thank you. i mean it, really. thank you. thank you for just letting me cry. thank you for listening. thank you for your kind words. mostly, thank you for your prayers. second, i did it all last week, so there was only one tiny tear this morning. this was a huge change, most of all for me.
now i know this is good, really good... it's going to be lots of fun... and cale and lily are going to be great!
