FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL

I base the success of the First Day of School on the number of crying friends I have and how long they cry for. I had 2 that cried briefly at drop off and of that 2 only 1 cried periodically through the day for a brief time so, I'm going to say that today was very successful. It was loud, crazy busy, and stressful at times trying to get every one's attention, but it's always like that they first day...what am I saying it's like that the first week {haha}.

I have a really cute group of little ones, one came with a thumb guard to assist in giving up thumb sucking. I teased the parents by saying that had to fall under the category of child abuse. I was a thumb sucker and always wanted one of my girls to be one, but they never were. I find myself partial to thumb suckers, it always looks so cute, that or when they suck their 2 little fingers. Several years ago I had a parent paint their child's thumb with that nasty tasting thumb sucking stuff, I asked the child how they were doing, they said fine, I'm just sucking the other one, my mom didn't put that stuff on that one...haha!!

And, of course there was the one little one whose name we all knew by 9:30...hee hee! At lunch I was asking everyone how their day went and if they would be back tomorrow. I had one little one { I always do} that said NO! they wouldn't be back tomorrow. I always act so distressed over that and ask "Are you kidding me"? "For real, you aren't coming back"? Well, ok if you're sure, we will miss you, too bad because tomorrow is going to be better than today. That little one ended up pitching a hissy fit when it was time to go home..haha!

It was good to have the baby ducks back, but I'm off to bed....I'M POOPED!!!
