Grace started Kindergarten this morning...I can hardly believe it! She is really like Aaron in the way that she takes on new situations with such excitement and without any apprehension. I, on the other hand, had enough anxiety for both of us (although I didn't let her know that of course!) I even had a dream last night that it was my first day of school! All I remember is that I was sitting at my little student desk and it was taller than all of the other kids'!Aaron, Eve, and I all accompanied Grace to her classroom to meet her teacher and have a look around the classroom. When it was time to say good-bye she was totally okay with us leaving. We gave her a hug and kiss, and out the door we went. I wasn't sure if I would, but yes, I did cry as we walked to our car! When I picked her up a few hours later she met me with a big hug and said she had "so much fun!" The only thing that went wrong was that she fell off the monkey bars once at recess, but she was okay.
Some other exciting news is that Eve wore "big girl panties" for the first time today. She had been only casually using the potty with the occasional success, but we decided that with Grace starting school it was a good time to advance Eve in some way as well. Although she has already had two accidents (which is to be expected for a first-timer) she feels so proud of herself. Just look at the expression on her face!

Such big kids! Sad and glorious all at once! Adorable!
We had such a great time hanging out with your kids even if it was for just a couple of days. Julia was so good at remembering Grace's birthday. Wish that we could be there to celebrate!
