Back to school...

Wow. I haven't posted anything in a long while. July was fun, but busy and August seemed to be filled with sick children.  Thankfully, everyone seems to be back to themselves, healthy and ready to start the school year!

Caleb was super excited about school. He really loves it, which is great. And amazing to me because he struggles so much. But he is in a program that is a perfect fit for him. And he is thriving. He has a new teacher this year, and I think he is going to have a great year!

First day of grade 5

Sophie was less excited. I always thought she would love school. But she doesn't. I am hopeful that this year her teacher can make her excited to learn so that she begins to enjoy school a little more. I'm fairly certain she just tolerates it, because on school days she also goes to before school care and eats lunch at daycare. And she loves daycare.

First day of grade 2

I can't believe that my baby is old enough for school.  He was accepted into the Early Ed. Program because of a speech delay so even though he is still 3, he will be going to school this fall too.  It's a big month for him-a new Dayhome, new school and a new bus. There was a mix up with the bus and a lost address change form so he won't be officially starting school for a week or so, but I was able to bring him in today for a bit of a staggered entry. Before he started, he told me that school was too scary and the monsters there would scare him. Once he saw the trains, he was fine.  He loved the ball pit in the gym and sang row, row, row your boat.

A little apprehensive before his first day of school

He ended up loving it, and did not want to leave when it was time to get Caleb and Sophie. And he then proceeded to throw himself on the floor. At least his teachers know that he is not only cute...he is spirited, feisty and opinionated as well.
