Wow, our summer went by fast! This week we were back to school! We're easing back into our bedtime and morning routines (which got a little crazier for me at the end of the week when Mr. B left for HAITI!) and looking forward to all of the growing and learning our little ones are going to do this year.
Miss M started second grade on Monday. She loves school and says that second grade is her favorite grade yet!
Also on Monday, Miss K started a three-morning-a-week preschool. She feels like such a big girl walking around wearing a backpack (which she picked out herself at Target). She walks to class with great enthusiasm, but telling us goodbye has not been easy. We've had a few tears--and that includes Mom-Mom as well as K! It's a big transition for us! K's teacher assured us that K's tears have only lasted a couple of minutes and that once we're out of sight, she's a sweet and smiley participant in all the class activities. I'm told the tears will stop and the drop-off will get easier. I sure hope so, because it breaks my heart to leave those big, teary eyes!
Miss A got a couple of extra days of vacation (which she was actually a little bummed about since she was so excited about school) and started kindergarten on Wednesday! She has the same kindergarten teacher Miss M had and who we all just adored. She's is finally one of Mrs. H's little bears and is just as thrilled as she can be about it.
