Back to School

Tessa and Ellis both started school at West Cobb Prep today. It was Tessa's first day back (in two months) and Ellis' first day ever. When we walked back to Tessa's class we saw all of her old teachers (Ms Arkeyshia, Ms Laura, and Ms Princess). She recognized all of them and gave them hugs and talked to them. She's in a new class now, Sr. Toddler with Ms Martha. She walked right into her new room and sat with the other kids, waved and said 'Bye Mommy'. And that was that.

Then I took Ellis to his room and met his teacher (who is new) Ms Andrea. She was so nice and Ellis thought she was very funny. He kept laughing and smiling. It was very hard to leave him, but I took a couple of quick pics and left. Unfortunately he got bit by a mosquito THREE times on his face last night, so he looks a little rough. I was very brave though and I didn't cry as I was leaving. But I miss him already.

Then as I was leaving I realized I had left my keys in Tessa's classroom. GREAT, now she was going to get upset seeing me come back in and leaving her after she had done so well. When I walked back in they were in circle time doing some dance. Tessa smiled, waved and said "Hi mommy, wook at me spinning. Bye Mommy" and was PERFECTLY fine. She was so excited to see all of her old friends she could have cared less about her old mommy. I am so proud of her.
