First Day of Kindergarten!!!

Well, we made it through the first day of kindergarten! :) That is a little misleading - Anna was only in school for an hour, but it was a pretty long hour. She went to her classroom to play for a bit and meet her classmates and the parents were all taken to the cafeteria to learn the schedule and procedures for pickup and dropoff and sending work and information home to us. We learned that they DO give homework in kindergarten, who knew? Anna is still very excited, and was a little upset that they were only there for an hour. She ran a few errands with me today, and then we picked daddy up for lunch - she got both of us all to herself for a little bit - that hasn't happened for about 3 1/2 years!
Both Anna and McKenna start dance tonight - tap and ballet - so Monday's are going to be very long days once both girls are in school. Ava will continue to tag along and watch her sisters do all sorts of fun stuff - only a matter of time until she has her own activities! McKenna wanted to go to school with Anna today, but was pretty happy to hear that she will get to go to her own school starting in 2 weeks. This is the first time she will be going somewhere without Anna, but I think she will do just fine. This was Saturday morning - a little pj time in mommy and daddy's bed.
Ava is working on her sitting, and it able to sit unassisted for close to 10 seconds at a time. After one faceplant while mommy was trying to take a picture has caused me to not attempt that again - maybe next week!
