We took our traditional 'back to school' pictures while poor Lucy smiled through the pain. We got to school a little early and just barely got a parking spot! We chatted with some friends and made our way to Alice's class first. We were the first there so we snapped some pics and were out the door! She was all smiles! whew!
Lucy, however, was in tears and required a lot of hugs. This is very unlike her but I think it was 75% ear pain and 25% jitters. I hated leaving her like that! (this was at 8am) but I went to meet a friend for a bagel and by 8:30am, school had already called to pick up Lucy who was in the office in tears. We headed straight to the doctor and after waiting 45min, we were reassured it was swimmers ear and got some antibiotic drops called in. She seemed to be a little better after some motrin from the doctor so I dropped her off at school and it was snack time! She said she wanted to 'power' through the rest of the day and that she did!
We got them off the bus a little while ago and everyone was ALL SMILES! Lucy seemed better and Alice was so proud of herself for riding the bus on the very first day of Kindergarten! Despite the ear and a bus stop snafu, we had a great day! They both seem to like their teachers! Alice's only request is that she is able to buy her lunch tomorrow and doesn't have to sit with her older sister b/c she bothered her today!?!?!? Isn't it supposed to be the other way around that the older sibling doesn't want to sit with the younger one?!?! ha!
Alice is off to ballet and is sure to be thoroughly exhausted tonight......
(ps...you are probably wondering where baby EVelyn was during all of this chaos! Thank goodness my mother in law was here watching her! ;-)
pictures are out of order! oh well!
