This was a big day for our kiddos...Baylor started school for the very first time and Christian started Kindergarten!!! They are both attending Otter Creek Preschool and Kindergarten. This is Christian's 4th year there and we LOVE IT. The women there are some of the most godly ones you'll meet and they really take care of your children. Here are the kids with the sign out front. I think this sign has probably been there since the start of the school which was well over 30 years ago. In front of the red door leading into the Kindergarten building

Baylor DID NOT want to go in her class. This is the girl that never bats an eye at church or at the MDO program I had the kids in over the summer and she got in the floor screaming. Her teacher, Mrs. Julie is sitting in the rocker holding another friend that was upset. (mommy was a tad frazzled that day too read post below to see why)
Apparently flash forward a couple minutes and she was like this (her teacher took this picture for us). The director said that this was one of the smoothest 2 year old Snoopy day she has witnessed and she's been their 25+ years. I'm glad Baylor calmed down quickly and I hope the same holds true on Monday when she starts for real.

Here is my big boy on the steps leading up to his new kindergarten building. Mommy helped make it look brand new inside b/c it was in need of an extreme makeover. I cleaned, painted and hauled stuff around. The real creative people designed and used cool fabric to jazz up chairs/windows. All the classrooms received a fresh coat of paint, new floors and carpets. See you later buddy
Daddy, Mommy and Christian outside his classroom
Ms. Pat (the director) was waiting for him to join his class
and here he is in his classroom with Mrs. Melissa (his teacher) They are looking at a snake skin (yuck) that she had. It sounds like he is going to have a great year. Melissa has a ton of experience and I've been told she does well with boys which is probably why she has 12 of them in her class:)
