Not quite so excited yet...

Today was the first day of school for both David and Mary Kate and everything went off without a hitch.  Both kids had new shoes to wear.  David is not really a shoe person.  He mostly goes barefoot in the summer except when he absolutely has to wear something (like going to church) in which case he consents to wearing Crocs.  Crocs are not allowed in preschool, so he had to put on tennis shoes for the first time in a long time.  In the store, he had only kept them on his feet for about 2 seconds while trying them on, so I never realized that the shoes we picked are the kind that light up every time you walk.  David was very excited.  I was less so.  He stomped out the door enjoying the light display and continued stomping all the way to class.  I am sure his teacher appreciated his new shoes all morning! 

Mary Kate seemed to settle in well to her class.  There are 6 girls and 2 boys.  During “Met the Teacher” day it was obvious that most of the girls (including Mary Kate!) are very bossy.  If she has learned anything from David, it is certainly how to hold her own.  It should make for an interesting fall!
