5 on Friday

1. I don't remember what we did last weekend.  All I remember is that we were getting prepared for the first day of school!  Oh wait, Ellie had her first professional manicure and pedicure in preparation for the first day of school.   She was grinning the entire time and felt like a little princess.


2. Guess what Monday was... the First Day of Kindergarten (Ellie) AND the First Day of Big Wheels (Neve)!   Both girls were very excited for their special day.   Ellie picked dinner on Sunday night, Neve picked breakfast Monday morning and Ellie picked dinner Monday night.


3. Neither Ellie nor I cried at kindergarten drop-off!   I think all of the excitement and preparation had us ready for the first day.   About an hour before we were going to leave for school she asked me, "Can we just go now!?"   She was ready. 


4. Ellie loves kindergarten!  She loves her teacher.  The neighbor three doors down is in her class.  A girl from her dance class last year is in her class.   One of her friends from day-care is in her class.   She came home and told me that she had two new best friends (the boys that sit on either side of her).


5.  Both girls started dance class on Tuesday!   This is Neve's first year and she could not be more excited.   Ellie is excited as well, but turning into a pro since this is her 3rd year (I cannot believe she has already been in dance for 3 years and still loves it).   They look so cute in their pink dance leotards!   It does make a busy night for Mom and Dad since Neve's class goes from 5:15-5:45 (a rush from school to dance class) and Ellie goes from 5:45-6:45, but we will survive (and it gets it all done in one day).
