Stella and Maggie go to the 3's class!

The girls just returned to school last week, and just for a few hours a day.  But that's still a few hours per day for Patti to have time to herself for the first time in five years.  Whew!

There were two 2's classes last year so the school mixed up the kids into two different 3's classes this year.  Luckily the girls weren't separated, but many of their little friends are in the other class.  But they get to play together during recess and see each other in the hall before school.  That made the first day harder, though, and neither girl wanted to go into their class.  We had to push them in, both crying and screaming for us, and walk away quickly.  So three out of three had a rough first day.

Maggie and Stella both asked to wear dresses, have barrettes, and wear necklaces so they'd look "pretty Daddy."



Once they got to school, though, they were pretty comfortable until they saw their friends going into the other class....


Both girls did some drawing and coloring to calm down, which they did pretty quickly.  And both girls promised to walk right in the next class, which only one of them did (you can guess which one).  From the third class on, they've both marched right in and had great days.
