Today was the first day of school for the boys. It's the start of Evan's 3rd year in pre-school and Noah's first. It's also Evan's last year of pre-school. Next year he'll be in Kindergarten. I honestly can't believe it.
I stayed home today to help Rachel and see Noah at his first day. I heard Evan get up at 7:30 but he didn't remember that I was working downstairs so he stayed upstairs. Noah slept in and I had to wake him up to get him ready. He's been very excited to go, but he doesn't wake up well. He was whining and crying about not wanting to go to school. He wanted to go back to bed. He's not 16 either.
We got to school and Noah was still kind of cranky but you could tell he was excited. We took Evan to his room first. They wanted Evan to trace his hand and cut his hand out with his name and a heart on it. We needed to help him. Noah wanted to do one too, but time wouldn't allow it. We needed to get Evan done and bring Noah to his class. So Noah got upset about that and he wanted me to hold him. Rachel did most of the helping with the drawing and cutting.
We took Noah into his classroom and he didn't want me to put him down. Rachel and I were both thinking this was going to be tough. But we saw a puzzle sitting out where you have to put the cars and boats and trains into their proper spots. Noah wanted to do that. So we quickly kissed him on the head and said goodbye.
Then Rachel and I got smoothies. Tuesday is my smoothie day. I go every Tuesday morning. The guy working there asked if we needed any help. Rachel said, no, that I come often. He said "yeah, it's Morry right?" I guess I go there too much.
Then we came home and there were no kids at the house. Rachel said we were empty nesters. I have to admit it was really weird with no kids.
We went and picked Noah up at 11am. He was sitting in the teacher's lap and he had been crying. I thought "oh no". But she said that he had had a great day and only became upset when another parent came. I couldn't believe it when she said that. It was like deja vu. That's exactly what happened on Evan's first day. It was the same classroom and the same scene. And I had the same thought when I saw Evan had tears in his eyes. And the teacher (different teacher) said the same thing. It was funny.
Noah was upset that Evan wasn't coming home with us.
Rachel got lunch together for her and Noah and I had some lunch as well. Then we went and picked Evan up. I was a bit worried about Evan because his good friend Cayden is not in his class any more. But he was very excited about playing with Ben and wanted to invite Ben over.
Rachel and Noah napped and then Gabby came over while Rachel tutored. Gabby said that Evan wanted to pretend to be Star Wars the whole time.
I made tacos for dinner. I made ground beef ones for me and veggie ones for Rachel.
The boys are in bed now. They seemed tired. It was a big day.
Until next time...
