First Day of School

Well Family-
The Stacey Eaton camera tradition continues. What does that mean? I can't keep a digital camera alive and in working condition for the life of me, which is why I don't trust a super nice camera in my house ever. All I had was a disposable camera for the first day of 1st grade and 2nd grade, (for now),but an update is coming regardless. The night before Hailey and Tyler laid out their "first-day-of-school-outfit" and told me they wanted to be put to bed at 7:00 so they wouldn't be tired. The lights are out and Hailey starts yelling because her front tooth fell out, and then they laughed for the next 30 minutes at her new lisp. (The "s" problem). We got up at 7:00 am and I made bacon, eggs and toast, (hard to smell with a nauseous stomach!). I walked them over to Discovery and Hailey jabbered the entire time with her excitement. She marched right in her class and sat down by two other girls. (Teacher-Mrs Allen). Tyler was more shy but put on a brave face. (Teacher- Mrs Krubsack). He had assigned seating and was at the very end of the row next to a girl, so I felt bad for him. I could tell he was scared and I knew when Emma and I walked out of his classroom his stomach would just drop, but the boy must grow to be a warrior. Had warm cookies and milk at the end of the day, and they were excited to go again this morning. And what do Emma and I do for 7 hours of alone time? For now: color, go grocery shopping, nap together, and watch Maisy and Caillou. Nice.
