1st Day, #1

Rachel started her new "daycare school" today.  She has moved from a little home daycare to a larger preschool/daycare that is the lab school for the early childhood majors at our local college.  She was very excited to go and quite proud that she was the first one of the family to go back to school.  Katherine is rather jealous.  And I am kind of relieved - it has become evident that Thing One and Thing Two need some time apart!

Katherine came with me to work in my classroom this morning.  The kindergarten teacher next door put her to work sorting and cutting for her and then paid Kate $2 for her work.  That made Kate's day!  I go back to work full-time on Wednesday and Steve on Thursday.  Katherine will have "Granny School" for the rest of the week - sewing, cooking, and a few adventures.  She finally starts back next Monday.  So, the journey back to school has begun.
