Today marked the end of an era (so to speak). Makenna has reached the next step in life...school She started kindergarten, and Camden got his first taste of preschool.First came Camden...he walked right into the preschool like he'd been going all along. We had anticipated a little resistance, or at least nervousness, but there was none! When Daddy told him, "I love you Camden," Camden said, "I love you too, Daddy, ALL DAY I love you." Then he said goodbye to me and walked inside.
Next we made our long drive to Makenna's school. We wanted her in the district I teach in because it is much better than the neighborhood schools, so we are making the long trek each day. Before school the kids were able to play on the equipment, so she played, by herself, but she played. When it came time to line-up, she gave us her hugs and kisses and waited patiently for the teacher to bring the class indoors.
Both kids read the same book today, The Kissing Hand, by Audrey Penn. It is a cute story about Chester the raccoon who is scared to go to school. The mom kisses his hand and says anytime you are scared, just touch your hand to your face and it will be like I am kissing you.
Then they made a handprint to bring home. So sweet.
It was a great first day of many!

Makenna,
It's hard to imagine the tiny little girl that came into our lives 5 years ago is ready for Kindergarden. You are such a joy to be around. We know you will enjoy and do well in school.
Camden,
We know you are ready for school..since you've been reading words since you were 2. We can't to watch you learn more and blossom into a young man (well in a few years)
Love,
Nana & Papa
