The Daddy Diary - Day 16

Hey Dad, Mom here,

Today we went...

 

BACK TO SCHOOL!

Since you have spent most of the day on the phone with me and know that it was not the best day ever, I hope the smiles of our precious girls can uplift you as they have me tonight.  

While Olivia was willing to endure a few shots this morning...

Addison was more then willing to go all out and pose for me...

Allye demanded a "shot" too...

And then I see this...

And think where does the time go?

Could it have only been a year?  Can we pay to slow this down?

But I hope you can see that they were content and settled and happy when I left them this morning.

Over an afternoon celebratory ice cream stop...

I learned that Olivia likes her teacher.  She sat beside her at lunch.  Yep, plunked right down beside the poor thing that has to eat with them this first week.  Learned that she at an apple, Cheetos, and a sandwich with meat on it for lunch.  No, not Olivia...the teacher.  She isn't married yet, but Olivia plans to ask if she is getting married this year.  Oh, and if she is going to have babies.  There is an Emma at her group of tables.  She has short, cute blonde hair and has to wear braces on both of her legs, according to Olivia.  There is an Eli and another boy...she will try and remember his name tomorrow.  There was no recess today because it rained for the 20th day in a row, according to Olivia.

AND

 Addison told me that Ms. Laura is really nice and she was really good today.  The girl's bathroom has Tinkerbell on the wall and the boy's bathroom has Cars.  But, they didn't use the boys bathroom just stood there while the boys went to the bathroom.  They couldn't go outside today, because it was wet.  She ate goldfish and watered down apple juice for snack in the snack room.  Then she asked me if she was allergic to apple juice.  She made a friend today but she doesn't know their name.  They read three stories, two for story time and one before they left.  She wants to dress-up like Spider Man.  No, not at home.  At school.  She didn't really feel like playing in the kitchen at school so she cleaned it up.  The computer wasn't working at school but Ms. Laura is getting that fixed.  She did two art projects but didn't feel like doing the one that taught her letters.  She didn't cry, she was brave.  But some kids did cry.  She thinks she is going to like it there.  She wants to go back tomorrow.  

Love you,

ME
