First Day of Toddler School

Liam and Olivia had their first day of toddler school on Monday.  We were all so excited.  The toddler program at their school is one day a week for an hour and a half.  Parents must participate, so it is a great way to ease into pre school next year.  (My boss is being very nice and letting me have a flexible schedule, and the school is being very nice and letting my mom take them when I cannot.)  The other great thing is that this program is part of a pre school, so next year they will be able to continue on at the same school with a lot of the same kids.

They had a great time on their first day.  They weren't shy at all, and tried out every activity they could.  Olivia definitely preferred the art stations and made four projects to take home.  Liam liked the cars, animals, kitchen and books.  We had circle time, which Liam chose to "opt out of" for more book time.  Then we went to play outside.  Liam stuck to the sandbox and Olivia liked the water table - both things we have at home but they seemed to be much more exciting at school.

They did great sharing.  In fact, it was very funny because there was one little boy who was not as good at sharing, and Olivia actually went up to him and told him he was bad! 

These were the best pictures I could get, and this was even with cookies for a bribe.  The cookies were supposed to be for an after school treat, but I really wanted to get a picture!  I figured the good part would be that they could fall asleep in the car on the way home and go right into their beds for a nap, but of course that didn't work out either.  Even after all that playing Olivia had tons of energy and refused to go to sleep.

All in all it was a great day.  Can't believe they are two already and going to school.  And very excited to watch them grow and learn more!
