Shockingly, I did not wish away most of the summer like I have in the past. Regardless, the first day of school came in August anyway. I don't take the kids on the first day of school. It is one of the special daddy jobs to take the kids out for breakfast on the first day and then drop them off.
Ben is a fifth grader, and is having a good year so far. He told me he is glad he isn't in sixth yet (Me too!). Will is a third grader, and as you can see, was not thrilled about the first day of school. Things are going better now though. Kate is super-excited to be a first grader and go to full-day school! She is already reading chapter books and acing spelling tests.
Now that Jack is a big three-year old boy, he goes to school two mornings a week too. He started in September, and on that fine day he also chose his breakfast wisely. He loves what he calls, "Ih-ee-lay!"
Jack loves school, where he has the same preschool teachers that Kate had, and he receives speech services. He comes home everyday trying to tell me what he had for lunch (he always says peanut butter or "sketti," but I seriously doubt that). And yes, in case you were wondering, I am enjoying my TWO child-free mornings a week. That's how I found time to blog again last Wednesday. Although, to be honest, all I usually get done is grocery shopping, a walk, and a shower. It's the small things.
Love you, kids - I am so proud to be your mama!
