First Day of School

The first day of school - I think I was more excited than Emma!  The kids had a great summer together - but staying home with each other was starting to wear a bit thin and Frank and I both agreed it was definitely "time' to go back!  Emma wasn't that excited - until we went to the open house and she found out she was getting a locker!!!!  Wow, that made all the difference (its the small things, I guess!).  She was a bit worried about going "all day" - but was quite excited to hear that she would get three recesses!   We met her teacher - Mrs Fritz - at the open house and she is wonderful!  I have heard nothing but great things about her - and Emma even said she "missed Mrs Fritz" when they had a sub one day!   Its still hard to believe she is a FIRST grader.....wow - she is getting so big!

Greyson was also pretty excited about starting three year old preschool.....he was going to a "new school" Little Lakers Learning Center but the fact that its the same teachers and same friends helped ease him back into school.  The first day was a bit rough - he was a bit nervous and didn't want me to leave him.....he wanted "emma" - they really grew close (and were inseperable) all summer - so I knew it would be a bit of an adjustment for him.....but he is doing great!  He loves his teacher Ms Carol (who had Emma too - and Emma still says is her favorite teacher) and is enjoying singing songs (I am a pizza!) and reading books and counting.....fun fun fun!  I think its good for him to get back to some sort of structure and learning....his little mind needs it!
