First day of preschool!

Look ma, no hands!

Evie has her first day of preschool today! She left with Will this morning carrying a Thomas the Tank Engine backpack and a big smile. I'm aware that I'm the mom of a preschooler, but this morning it was still a little hard to believe. She gave me a big hug and I waved good bye (standing in the doorway in my bathrobe...so cliche!). She's growing up so fast!

Two days ago, we had a practice run at preschool where all the students and parents got together to meet the teachers and each other. It surprised me how shy Evie was and how much I had to push her to join the other kids. But after a while, she got the hang of it and was playing with her classmates. Let's hope she remembers how much fun she had on Tuesday and that today is as much fun.

Playing with her new friends in the play school house.

Showing off her scissor skills with some play dough.

And since we can't have a post without pictures of Zevon and Guthrie, here you go! They are changing so much. Zevon is an excellent charmer with his smiles and coos. Guthrie continues to amaze us with his head-holding ability and pushing up so well. Now that I have a functioning computer to work with, I'll be better at posting updated photos. (Zevon is on the left, Gus on the right.)

"Guthrie, this is so hard!"
"Oh, Zevon, you are such a complainer."
"You were the one complaining at 5 am, Gus."
"I wanted to catch the early morning news, big Z!"
