Doing Great!!

I just wanted to post a quick update since the drama from the fist day at school. All has been well for both kids. Both say they love school, come home telling me stories about various friends, what they are learning, and enjoying their teachers. Every once in a while Sarah comes to me asking why she and Zack have to be in separate classes but a brief and vague answer seems to be sufficient for now. They do see each other at the playground and say they play with each other. Yesterday they told me that they are introducing the friends they have in their classes to each other at the playground. The bus rides have been uneventful, thank goodness!! Now it's hugs, kisses and Bye Mom!! That's it! Phew...

They had their 5yr check up at the pediatrician yesterday. Both are perfectly healthy. Sarah is 42 1/2 inches tall and 38lbs. Zack is 42 inches tall and 43lbs. Both had significant growth spurts but are doing very well. Sarah did fail her eye test so on the 17th we'll be visiting a specialist to see if glasses are in her future. Wouldn't surprise me since BOTH Keith and I wear glasses and I was in Elementary school when I first had to wear them. I hope she doesn't, but if she does, no big deal. Otherwise all is good. It's nice to hear the pediatrician say "Keep up the good work! They are such well adjusted, happy children!" I left there feeling very proud to be their mom.
