First day of school

I love these little girlies and cant believe how fast they are growing up. I guess I am getting old now that I have a 2nd grader! Tallie was all smiles as she woke up and got ready for her first day. She is eager to learn and try new things. She impresses me with her independence and it really amazes me sometimes because I was SO not independent when I was young. I was so shy and nervous for everything and starting a new school year always terrified me. I guess that is where Chloe gets her anxiety from. Me. She woke up in tears and was hiding, terrified of going to school. At times she could barely breath she was so upset and hysterical. She eventually calmed down enough to get ready and take a picture. Tallie was great to reassure her her first day would be great and she told her she would meet her for recess and come see her at her lunch table. Tallie is so sweet like that. However Chloe was a faucet and could only manage to keep her tears under control for a few minutes at a time.

Once we got to school Tallie was fine and kissed me goodbye and ran off to her class. I popped my head in later to say hello and she had already fled out the door to play on the playground before the bell rang. 

It was hard to leave Chloe. So sad and red faced. I just want to hug her and hold her forever and tell her its going to be ok. It helped that her friend was also crying because I told Chloe she needed to help Haeli feel happy and not sad at school. Now that she had a job to do and someone to watch over she settled down. They are both still in the Dual Immersion Spanish Program which makes me nervous for all of the homework they will bring home. Guess TJ will have to be on homework duty. 

Once the girls got home from school Chloe was all smiles and wanted to go back the next the day. And come the next morning she was the first one awake getting ready and bouncing off the walls ready to go back to school. Once we got to school however her tears returned and she had a hard time going into class. I don't know what tomorrow will bring since we had the weekend...
