First day for Maddy

Today was Maddy's first day at her new school. At first, she was totally fine. She'd been at the school enough to get Reagan that she didn't seem nervous. Once I entered her new room and stayed for a bit, I think she started to realize that she was staying and I was leaving. She clung to me like velcro. It was amazing. I think at one point I dropped my hand and she stayed put.

As soon as I handed her over to her new teacher, she flipped out completely. Normal and totally expected.

In that whole drop off process, Reagan decided that she would just go on to her room. She didn't want to get hit by a flying object and quickly excused herself. So I piled her up with her stuff and she took off. When I went to go check on her, she was hanging up her coat by herself and proceeded to tell me that she would take care of the rest by herself.

When I went back to check on Maddy, she had settled down and was hanging out on the lap of her new teacher looking at flashcards. Ahhhh. I'm sure she saw flashcards and felt right at home. My little bookworm. :)

I went all day without calling just simply because of my schedule. When I called at 3:20pm, they said "she's doing great". She did have a bit of trouble in the morning, but recovered well and just fit right in. She didn't really need to adjust much. They said she literally fell right in step with everyone else. Nice again.

Then they asked "is she potty trained"? Nope. Well, not officially. I'm sure the other school was starting it with her. They were awesome like that and knew she was ready. So they said "just bring her in underware tomorrow and let's try it". I said, "let's let her adjust to the new space and see if she continues this change, she is very young to potty train."

Jim picked her up and said she had a great day. Nothing of note other than she poured a cup of water all over herself and she needed a new outfit for the next day. Nice again.

Energy!

Reagan always seems to have a ton of energy. She wakes up grumpy every day, but very quickly she perks up and is moving on. She  loves to jump around and play chase with Maddy. The giggling and screaming might be the best part of the day. It's so fun to watch them play. It's so cute to watch Reagan be the big sister.
