Sophia's First Day of School!

Sophia started "school" this morning! I am going to be working in the office starting next week, covering for a maternity leave for 3 months. Sophia will be going to Wonder Years Learning Center 3 mornings a week while I am working - this is the same place Evan started at when he was 2.9 while I was working. I started her two mornings this week so that she can get used to it. And I had a whopping 2.5 hours in the house to myself this morning - it was heavenly! It went by way too fast though...just enough time to get in an hour's work out, start a load of laundry and tidy up a bit. Sophia didn't cry at all, although she clung to me and resisted me leaving. The teacher held her while she waved at me out the window. They said she was very quiet and didn't speak at all...wouldn't join circle time...stood off to the side (gee, does this sound familiar??? Evan all over again!) She played nicely by herself, played outside and when I went in for pick-up she was having a little snack with another little girl. She seemed content enough and was thrilled when I told her she'd be going back again Wednesday! She told me all about circle time this afternoon and the songs they sang (as if she had participated!!) She is just like Ev - needs time to warm up and very shy around strangers. She will come around though, and probably quicker than her brother did. Yay Sophia! Here are a few pictures of the kids going off this morning.
