Miriam had been waiting for this day for 2 years (ever since Madeleine went to preschool). For the past six MONTHS she has asked me pretty much daily how much longer until she went to school.
And when the big day arrived, Miriam was not disappointed. Here are a few things that she told me about today:
-I read a book to a little girl. Because you know I can read now. (I guess since she is in school now, Miriam thinks that must mean that she can read.)
-I made a 100 new friends!!!
-I am the biggest girl in my class. And I am bigger than the boys too. I am BIG! (If you look at the group shot below, it looks like Miriam might be right--she does appear to be bigger than her classmates.)
Miriam was so ready for school, that we decided to put her in it 5 days a week. So she goes to school everyday from 8:30 to 12:30. She even gets to eat her lunch there (she is super excited about that).
Amanda and I really enjoyed our day today. We had a nice quiet morning and then the afternoon was pretty quiet and relaxing with just Miriam around. Then once Madeleine came home things got rowdy and we all went outside to play! So far, I am really liking this school year :)
