Today was a big day in the Noland household. Samantha went to her very first day of Mothers Day Out. 2 of the 3 of us shed tears ... I'll let you guess which 2! (Hint: It wasn't the 2 year old.) I am happy to report that she had a great morning. She woke up very excited about her day. She was even more excited when I showed her the pink monkey lunchbox. I could've cried a river making that peanut butter and jelly sandwich to go. She declared the Wonder Pets backpack "too heavy" (it's not), but she loved toting around that lunchbox!
She had a few hesitant moments in the chaos of first day drop off, but she never bat an eye when Steve and I left her there. After the parent orientation, we went back to sneak a peek and found her playing very contentedly on the playground. When I picked her up this afternoon, her teachers said she was wonderful all day. She ate all of her lunch and really enjoyed the books. Samantha says she had fun as well. The only thing I can get out of her is that she held a rope in her hand. (???) Needless to say, Samantha is very excited about school!!
Bunny? Check. Monkey lunchbox? Check. Ready to go!

We would really like to make a profound comment, but find we are a bit speechless.
Love and admiration,

What a big girl! Did she manage to keep up with bunny all day or does he stay in the backpack at school? I remember the night Petey spent the night at school when Will was two. Not a good night.
Love to all!
