Chase's 1st day of VPK!

Chase started VPK today... that's "Voluntary Pre-Kindergarten" for those of you not from Florida. It's a state-funded (free!) program for 4 year olds for 15 hours a week. The class I chose for him meets Monday, Wednesday and Friday for 5 hours each day (most others meet 5 days a week for 3 hours)! I just wasn't ready to have him out of the house 5 days a week... he is growing up too fast!

He was soooo excited to start school and guess who is in his class? His best friend Mia! So they were 2 happy little kids and he informed me that they sat next to each other all day long.

If you want to know who wasn't so excited about Chase starting school, well that would be his little sister Siena. She was so sad this morning and was asking about him constantly. But I think it will be really good for her to spend some time without him and figure out what she likes to do instead of following him around. And it will give us lots of good quality time together while the twins nap in the morning.

So Chase said that he LOVED school and that his teacher is very nice and he can't wait to go back on Friday! I would say that's a successful first day!

Hugging Siena goodbye:



Ready to go!
