Back to school

Today was back to school day for the girls. Ali entered the Reception class today (preschool in the U.S) and Sofia entered Year 1 (Kindergarten in the U.S.). Both kids were excited to head back to school and see their teachers and friends. Jason and I got everything ready this morning and the kids did a great job getting dressed. We headed off to school with spare clothes, indoor shoes, lunch bags, and book bags all in their little back packs. As we dropped them both off in their classrooms they easily settled in and didn't give us a backward glance. When I picked them up at the end of the day I was greated with "I'm playing". Which meant, they didn't want to go yet and I could just move along. Fortunately it was a beautiful afternoon so I let the kids play in the school yard for a while. A succesful start to a new school year.
