First Day of Pre-School

It's a new day in the Monihan house! Today the boys went to pre-school for the first time!!! Of course we had a sprinkle of snow last night and there was a 2 hour delay. Being new to how all of that works I still showed up right at 9 to a dark center where I learned they follow the county closings so we traipsed off to the gym and then back to the pre-school.

It's a half day program from 9-1. We are planning on 2 days a week - for now. I was mildly concerned over the whole allergy "thing" and them not eating the snack they provide. I even brought their digestive enzymes and just prayed they would be flexible and give them to the boys. Imagine my DELIGHT when they said oh yeah another boy here takes his digestives before he eats. And lingering concerns I had flew out the window. They both ran into their perspective rooms and promptly forgot about me. Coop did yell, "Wait!" and jumped up and ran to give me a kiss and then headed back.

I got myself a lovely cup of coffee and planned to do NOTHING. I have plenty of times to run errands and do things, today I just wanted to be in peace. When I got home Debbie our babysitter/house cleaner was finishing up and I have to admit- I had no clue what to do with myself. There wasn't a load of dishes to do, she had cleaned the play room and made their beds. I could have folded laundry but instead I sat on the couch, drank my coffee and surfed the internet. It was delightful.

When I picked them up I found the boys in the same room together for some reason. They explained as Coop was leaving the science room he saw Bear and had to play with him. Both of their teachers glowed about them and gave me the weeks activities and what they would be learning. The digestives were no big deal and the food was no biggie either. The new thermoses I had purchased worked like a charm.

They are now in their cribs NOT wanting to take a nap. I thought they would be tuckered out but it seems I may be wrong. Regardless the first day of pre-school was AWESOME!!
