First Day of School Pictures

Today embarks on the first of 12 years of public school for Drew and Kaylea. This was really a surreal day for me as their mom!! The first day of school I walked the twins to their class. Drew was a great, strong big brother. He watched as his sister looked into the classroom full of kids and she had a meltdown. My first thought was that he was next. I just knew that him seeing her get nervous would cause anxiety for him but I couldn't have been more wrong. Kaylea looked into the classroom and then looked at me with the biggest crocodile tears. I walked her down a little bit so that the other kids in her class wouldn't see that she was upset. Drew watched as I wiped away her tears and told her what a great day she was going to have meeting new friends. She quickly pulled it together and they both headed to class. Of course, once I got in the van I had a meltdown myself. As I drove off I remember thinking "what is wrong with me?? I know my mother never did this!" Thanks to facebook, i saw from my friend's status' that i was not alone. Here are Drew and Kaylea on their first day of school.

By this time, Drew and Kaylea have been in school for almost 2 weeks and Will was eager to be like his older brother and sister. He was ready to go to the "big boy" class where his teachers are Mrs. Cathy and Mrs. Tammy. Both of whom he knows Drew and Kaylea had when they were his age!
