Last Thursday was Sam and Campbell’s first day of school! Sam was at school last year, but this year we switched to a new school, and of course, this is Campbell’s first year of school. Part of our reason for switching schools was that the new school offers a Parent’s Day Out program for little little ones. So Sam goes Tuesday and Thursday and Campbell just goes Thursday. I was feeling a little guilty for starting Campbell in “school” so young but these next two semesters are going to be really busy for me (with grad school and HBTM) so I think the kid-free time will be very helpful! Drop off on the first day went really well and both kids seemed to enjoy themselves. The second day for Sam was rough, however. He really cried when I left and I felt so bad for him. But he seemed to have a good time and he was definitely happy to see me at pick up! The third day for Sam was today and he did great–no tears! Campbell had her second day today and it also went well, although she only napped for about 25 minutes, instead of her usual 90! But she’s getting in a good nap now. Here are a few pics from the first day!

Sam saying “cheese!” I swear, he was actually happy:

A special frozen yogurt date to celebrate a successful first day:

As we were checking out, I noticed this sign. Just for fun I asked Sam to guess how much the yogurt weighs (you pay by the ounce at this place). I said, “How many ounces do you think it is? Two, Three, Four, Five, Six?” He had no idea what I was asking him, but finally volunteered, “four.” Lo and behold, the yogurt weighed EXACTLY four ounces! Pretty hilarious and we got a free frozen yogurt! I guess he learned a lot on his first day of school!!
