Haley is now in second grade. How did she get here?
She started a week before the twins started school.
She finally got to be in a class with her friend Mia after
three years at the same school. When I picked her up
that day I asked her how school was and if she liked
second grade. She said, "I wish tomorrow was Saturday."
So I take it she wasn't thrilled to be back in school.
The twins on the other hand were a little upset with the
fact that they had to wait an entire week until they got
to go to school and be big girls.
The twins finally got their moment in the spotlight and
were more than thrilled to be big girls. Keeley woke
up first thing in the morning and said, "Mommy, let me
pick out my own clothes, I am a big girl now."
I did intend for them to wear similar clothing even though
their teacher told me to dress them differently. Too bad
for her. She will just have to learn to tell them apart.
They look totally different anyhow! What's the big deal?
I had to fight and convince the school to put them in
the same class. The policy is to separate them but that
was not on my agenda for more than one reason.
There happen to be two other sets of twins in Kindergarten
this year and both of those twins got separated. I am
very happy I made a fuss. Thanks to all the teachers
for agreeing to accommodate my wants for my children.
Kayla said in the car on the way to school, "This is
the best day ever." They were so excited!
Keeley decided she had an instant best friend with the
little girl sitting next to her, Kloe. She was so happy
to have a new friend they played together all day. She
was a little upset when she didn't get to eat lunch at
school or ride the bus home though. It was only a half day.
I watched them for a few minutes and noticed that Keeley
already takes after the Burch family and sticks out her
tongue when concentrating. Is that my girl or what?
Congratulations girls. You are now all grown up like Haley!
Mommy is going to miss her angels and might even cry once
in a while. Love you!
