School Daze

This week the boys went back to "school." Alex has officially started preschool, and Noah is just one class below. It has been interesting getting ready to leave the house in the morning--the boys are used to lounging around and eating breakfast. Now, I whisk them out of bed, into their clothes and into the car--they are handling it like troopers! The hardest part: I can't listen to NPR anymore on the drive to work--it's either Laurie Burkner or Thomas the Train music--ALL THE TIME!!!

The transition is going relatively well, although Noah is having a harder time of it--the first day he cried for two hours when I left him, but he was great the rest of the day. Yesterday he only cried for an hour! Progress??? When I pick him up, he is really happy and playing, so I don't think there will be permanent scars. What surprises me the most is that both boys are actually napping beautifully on their little cots!!!!

Alex is adjusting as well. He is happy to see Miss Cori, but he gets teary/whiney when I leave. Apparently that only lasts for a minute before he is off and playing. When I picked him up last night, he was playing trains (shocking!!!!) with two other kids and really having fun! As we left, he skipped down the hall singing "I'm a BIG kid!!!"
