Today, Emma Kate & Jackson went to Mother's Day Out (MDO) @ CLC. Brett went into work a little late so he could come do drop off with me. Emma Kate had no hestiation. She carried her nap mat all the way into the building until she said "mama you carry it now." haha! We put her things into her tub, she put her lunch sack into the lunch tub, saw a little girl crying, & bopped right into her classroom. :) Then, we took Jackson to his class. He did cry when the door closed. (no parents allowed inside the room.. it's those half open door/window one so we can see inside & talk to his teacher.) We walked to drop off a form & he wasn't crying on our way out. :))
As for my day...Wow kinda strange to be "off" for 5 hours on a Tuesday. I went straight to Arbor Hills Nature Preserve to run. Then showered up to eat lunch & do some kids fall clothes shopping with my Mom. Thanks Lolly!! :)
My mom & I went to pick up the kiddos. I was very excited to see them!! Emma Kate was starting to color at a table by herself & I said "hi" then she ran to me & just lost it crying. I have no clue why, but Jack did the same thing! Both teachers said they had great days & hadn't cried the whole time. EK didn't even have an accident. She used the potty there! Yay! (At home pottying...not nearly as good uggghhh! So tiring!)
Both made their 1st artwork! Which I want to frame of course! Both took naps, good job!
We spent the afternoon watching a Strawberry Shortcake & Care Bear movie just to let them relax. EK was tired & Jack for some reason had tons of energy for a bit. Needless, to say they were worn out & in bed by 7:20pm!!
I'm thrilled today went so well & hope the rest of the year does too! EK heads back Thursday & Jack will be with mama!
Loading up & heading out, but not before a few pics @ home by Daddy.
Say cheese!
Standard pic on front of the fireplace. :)
Excited for school & talking to Mommy about how just Emma & Jack & teachers go to school.
Not so sure yet!
She carried in her own nap mat.
Sweet Angels
Went right in, sat down, & joined in. :)
Jack's turn.
Looking a little concerned. Just a few tears at the beginning & he had a great day!
1st artwork!!! I'm such a proud mama!!
When I picked EK up she was picking a color to start coloring.
I said we're going home to watch a movie & rest/relax. She made it to the kitchen & this is how I found her after getting Jack out of the car. haha!
Awake, just resting.
"Mommy, I take my nap mat upstairs to watch Care Bears movie!"
Think she was tired?!?
Finally he slowed down.
