Nicole's first day of school

Today was Nicole's first day of kindergarten. Mark and I took her there together to drop her off. The kids waited in line outside, then the teacher came out and took them inside. A quick wave to Mommy and Daddy and they were gone. Yes, I cried. But I knew I would.

I picked Nicole up from school, expecting to hear all about her day. But it some poking and prodding to find out anything! In the end I found out she had a good day, made a couple of friends, learned everyone's names (but can't remember them now), learned her teacher's name is Mrs. Van Elfen but she can be called Mrs. Van (to which I said "I doubt that, please call her Mrs. Van Elfen") and had to close the door to go to the bathroom (they tend to leave it open at daycare which I've always found strange) and would therefore be closing the bathroom door at home now.

On the way home after picking up Julia, they saw a UPS truck. Someone told them a while ago that they are called "Monkey Trucks". So in car Nicole asks me if they are really Monkey trucks. I told her that they aren't really, that they're for delivering large packages. Then Julia jokingly said that they are Cow Trucks. Nicole said "No Julia, you can't deliver cows, I learned that at school today". lol Anything to appear smarter than your sister I guess. ;)
