I'm happy to report a successful first day of school at our house! Drew and Addison woke up yesterday excited and were ready in record time. They ate breakfast without fighting and didn't complain about morning scripture study. They even came home happy - said they liked their teachers and even liked and ate the lunches I packed for them! Amazing!
This morning...not quite the same story. School seems to have lost it's excitement already. I had to pull Addie out of bed...Drew threw a fit about wearing a certain pair of shorts...someone wanted something we didn't have for breakfast...scriptures were "boring"...and they left the house late. Oh well! Yesterday was good while it lasted!?
Here's the picture: Addison off to 2nd Grade and Drew to 4th...
Then there's Noah. He LOVES school! He's in the PPCD program again this year. We took him to meet his teacher last week. He was crushed that we were just there for a visit and not a full day of school! So yesterday was a very happy day for him...especially the bus ride home - something he's missed all summer! Unlike Drew and Addie though, he was even more excited to go today - probably because today was his first day to ride the bus TO school! I wish I would have taken a picture of his face as the bus drove up this morning! Last year, he only rode the bus home. I'm still a little hesitant about putting him on the bus for 45 minutes each way, but we'll see how it goes. The hour+ roundtrip to school (smack dab in the middle of everyday) was really killing my productivity. Like I said - we'll see.
So here's Noah's first day photo - taken at school with my phone because I forgot to do it before we left!
Now if it would just cool down! The first day of school was 104 (our 56th day over 100 this year - not that I'm counting) and the next 7 days look pretty much identical. At least the kids are stuck inside doing something productive now that they're in school?!
