Back to School

Today the big girls went back to school!  They had a great time, as we assumed they would.  Construction continues, so the teachers have set up an adorable space in the great hall that will function well as their classroom until construction is complete.  There are a few new children in the class this year, and Evelyn is one of them!  They enjoyed circle time and meeting new friends.  Their teacher said that the girls barely spent any time together, they were so interested in different things and different people.  It will be really interesting to see how they develop throughout the year.
Adelaide, on the other hand, was not at all happy about her sisters going back to school.  You'll note her sulking in the background of some of the back to school pictures.  Once the girls left, she threw herself on the floor screaming and crying for at least 5 minutes.   After a little time alone, she calmed down and then started to realize that being able to play with ALL the toys and having Mommy mostly to herself might be alright after all!
After school, we picked up the big girls and took everyone out to lunch to celebrate--they chose Tom and Eddies and we had a nice time!
Also, today was the day we updated their measurements on the pocket door--they have all grown so much!
Matilda is 45 7/8 inches, she grew 3 inches in the last year.
Evelyn is 42 1/2 inches, she grew 3 3/8 inches.
Adelaide is 34 1/4 inches, she grew 4 3/4 inches.
Cecily takes the prize at 22 inches, having grown 22 inches in the last year!
