First day of school!

Since Mommy has been on maternity leave for the past year, she decided to spend the last week of it by herself- RELAXING!! Also, so we could start a routine happening before she actually starts work, Caitlyn & Hannah BOTH went to daycare this morning. Caitlyn has been going every Tuesday & Thursday for the past year, but for Hannah, this was her very first day of being with somebody other than a family member. As soon as we found Hannah's room at daycare she immediately ran to the toys (which are pretty much scattered around the entire room!). After introducing ourselves to her teacher, we said 'Bye'. Hannah simply looked up from her toys and waved while saying 'Bye-Bye!' She cried when Mommy & Daddy picked her up from her new toys to give her a hug. She didn't seem to mind one little bit when we left the room either. Mommy & Caitlyn already have a routine when they get to school. First they find Caitlyns cubby (shelf) and switch her outdoors shoes to her inside 'Crocs'. Then she gives hugs and goes to her room. Today, Caitlyn's class when on a field trip in a school bus to a local playground splash pad. Everybody apparantly had a great time.

Caitlyn & Hannah both had a great day and were very tired when Mommy & Daddy picked them up from daycare. Caitlyn had sand all over her feet, so Daddy gave them baths right away. Hannah, who must have been either very excited or very overwelmed (tired) by the whole daycare thing only napped for about 40 minutes during the day. She usually has 2-two hour naps!! Needless-to-say, Hannah fell aslepp and went to bed pretty early tonight. Caitlyn, on the other hand, thinks she'll miss something and decided that her bed time is too early (as usual) so she stayed up a little later. Wait until she learns that she's going to daycare 5 days in a row now, I think the 8 o'clock bedtime will be accepted very soon!
