First day of school

Last year we had 4 start dates for our 4 kids.  This year everyone started on the same day but just to add to the craziness we returned from California 38 hours before school started with no nanny yet.  Happily, we found a wonderful nanny yesterday who started today and managed to get the kids back to this time zone (at least closer).  It sounds like everyone had a great first day!

We were especially proud of Mr. 4 who said very little last year and cried when in sight of the school.  It was a hard year.  Over the summer he seemed to have a great time at preschool camp and today was ready to start school.  When we got there this morning he was happy to go and "check it out".  He was sad when I left and did try to cling like a monkey but sounds like he recovered quickly and had a great day.  He was doing puzzles with his friends Jack and Charlie when I came to pick him up and told me all about his day on the way home!
