Charlotte's first day of school

Friday was Charlotte's turn to start school.  Normally, when Charlotte wakes up in the morning, she likes to get in our bed and cuddle with us for a little bit.  On Friday morning she didn't want to cuddle, she wanted to get ready for school right away.  She emerged a few minutes later completely dressed, including her shoes.  Then it was time for breakfast.  Charlotte normally has a large appetite, but she said she only wanted yogurt so she wouldn't be late for school.  We still had more than 30 minutes before we had to leave and  I convinced her to eat more than yogurt, but she still didn't eat as much as normal.  Finally, it was time to go.

We dropped off Tommy with his teacher and then walked her to her classroom.  She eagerly greeted her teacher and went into her classroom without any hesitation.  She happily sat on the rug to look at a book with the rest of her class.

When I picked her up she was all smiles and said she had a good day.  She also got a good report from her teacher.

When we were walking home, I noticed she was wearing different socks.  Then, I noticed her shoes looked like they were pretty worn considering it was the first day she had worn them.  I figured she must have switched socks and shoes with someone by accident.  I asked her and she was very adamant she had not taken her shoes off that day and those were her shoes.  Luckily, the moms (or mums) in her class have a chat group, so I asked if anyone else came home with different socks and shoes and figured out whose shoes we had.  Now I know I need to label everything the kids wear to school.  I guess that is one downside to everyone wearing the same thing.  :)  Overall, it was a great start to the school year.
