This week Lyla and Steven started school. Their first day was Monday and they both did pretty good. Steven started to cry when Tommy left him on Monday but he was eager to start playing when he dropped him off on Tuesday. I got to do the drop off and pick up today and again, Steven had a bit of separation anxiety. It just broke my heart to see his little bottom lip start to quiver when I told him bye bye. But his teacher, Ana, swooped him up and took him to look at the classroom fish. Distraction works wonders.
Lyla must really like school, too, because she is exhausted by the time she gets home. She has been going to sleep for the night around 6:30 or 7:00. Tonight she even slept through Steven's bedtime routine of reading a book and singing while we sat in the rocking chair immediately next to her crib. (If you've ever been in their room you know just how small and intimate it is, she had no where to escape!)
Today was also Tommy's first day at school. He started his student teaching assignment this morning with a teacher in service. It went well and I think he is anxious to really start actually teaching. He is sad to leave the kids but overall I think he is excited to be starting the next chapter!
