Owen's First Day of School

Yesterday was a pretty emotional day for me. Owen started preschool yesterday. It isn't something I had to do, but he was always so disappointed when we dropped Ellie off and this really is a great opportunity for him to fly on his own (without his sister telling him what to do) and get to know other kids his age.

There was a bit of trepidation (mostly with wanting his picture taken) but he survived and since being home has had a positive reaction from it. They said he had a hard time during rest time but that wasn't really surprising since he doesn't like to nap at home either. It takes all kids some time to get used to a routine and Owen is no different. We are eager to see how he does in the next week or so to confirm that this was a good decision. If he hates it, we will take him out.
It was really hard leaving him and I was nervous about it all day. I asked Daniel several times if he thought Owen was alright. He did, but I was still nervous about it. I did use my nervous energy to bake a pie and some bread. Both items were made with ingredients I don't like so Daniel (who is trying to diet) is left to eat them both :).
