Marin and Silje had their first day of preschool today. Their second year of preschool, with the same teacher, same classroom, and some of the same classmates.
Apparently three months away from school didn't mean much, because drop-off went as usual. They remembered to give me a hug and a kiss then walked straight into class without a glance back.
My own post-drop-off behavior went as usual as well, walking away from the classroom with maybe just a slight hesitation in my steps as I wondered "Did that really just go that smoothly?" It did. Pick-up: as usual, with the additional time added to introduce me to their new friends and say a million good-byes.
Silje and Marin excited about their first day!
Ailey gets in on the excitement before we take her to the bus.

Next year will be a new kind of usual to get used to. But honestly, they will have watched Ailey get on the bus for three years by then so I probably shouldn't expect any emotional outbursts ... from them at least. :)
