First Day of School

Wednesday was the first day of kindergarten for Clara and the first day of preschool for Charlie.  Not counting Tuesday night when Clara cried herself to sleep screaming, "I don't want to go to kindergarten, I don't want to go to kindergarten...," they were both very excited to start school.  I know that because Wednesday morning in the car on the way to school, Clara admitted she was just tired the night before, and she was really excited to go.  {Phew!}  Charlie didn't offer much of an opinion either way.  I took that as a sign of excitement.  Clara has since reported that her favorite part of kindergarten is recess, Mrs. Flaherty is the best teacher she has ever had, and she already learned that one class rule is to be nice to her friends when they get hurt.  I know Charlie likes his new school because they have bikes on the playground and one of the bikes has a trailer!  What could be better?!
