First day of school August 26, 2009

Last Wednesday was Mason and Madeleine’s first day of school.  Mason started first grade and Madeleine ECE (preschool).  The both seemed to have fun.  Madeleine only went for three hours (with mom).  She got to meet her teacher, made a craft and  got to learn all of the school rules. We then had lunch, went shopping and followed it up with a nap before we had to pick Mason up.  Madeleine has jumped right in.  No calls from the teacher yet, I will keep my fingers crossed.  She is very social and I am sure she is making lots of new friends.  On the first day, while talking to dad, she says “I made friends with everyone, even the kids I did not meet yet”.

Mason lost his first tooth on his first day.  A few weeks ago (when the tooth was first loose) he made a comment that he really wished he could loose his tooth at school because you get a treasure chest.  I never thought it would still be in loose when school started, but it looks like it was waiting for the first day.  Mason’s anxiety about not having all of his buddies in his new class seemed to subside.  He realized that he still knew most of the kids.  After one week he seems to have made some new friends as well.
