First Day of School Again!

Eden, the sweet and spunky KindergartnerJonah, the handsome and cool 1st graderOn Tuesday, Jonah and Eden got to meet their teachers. It was a crazy ordeal; all three kids were super hyper and proceeded to run around each classroom while I tried to talk to the teacher for a minute, hoping she didn't get a horrible first impression of my kids! I was glad when it was over. The kids were horrible! Just goes to show how ready we all are for school to start.

Eden has Mrs. B., Jonah's teacher from last year. She obviously did not want to take a picture.Jonah has Mrs. C., who I hear great things about. She is due to have a baby in September and will be on maternity leave from then until the end of November, so Jonah will have a long-term sub. I am a little apprehensive, but only because I know nothing about the sub. We'll see how that goes.Wednesday was the first day of school. Jonah seemed excited. I don't think he realized how long he was going to be at school. No more half day! When I dropped of Eden for Kindergarten, I saw Jonah, who was just getting out of lunch and having recess. He looked beat! He also looked a little sad, and he told me that he couldn't get his applesauce open at lunch. Poor guy! He is still getting used to the long days.

Eden was a little nervous for her first day (so unlike her)! She said she had a little tummy-ache on the way to school. We got there a little early and I showed her the Kindergarten playground where she can go when I drop her off. She started playing and seemed to be doing a little better. Then when her cousin, Marcelus, showed up, she turned into her normal self. She was so excited to see him! They are in the same class (at least until Lexie and Sharrid move in a few weeks). I hope she doesn't take the move too hard.Marcelus, with the cutest forced toothless smile ever!

Getting ready to go inside

The kids have all been doing well so far. Levi's year won't be much different than last year, so I'm not worried about him at all. Eden is trying to get used to the idea of homework everyday. Thank goodness it has been easy so far, but I know that it will get more difficult soon, so I hope she can deal with it! Jonah is also getting used to the bigger workload. He is mostly trying to adjust to a long day at school. He starts Let's Play Music again next week and hopefully that will be fun for him.

As for me, I will be driving my fair share this year, but it's going to be less than last year. Hooray! Our carpool is a science, but it works! I am looking forward to having some time to sew, read, sleep, listen to the quiet, and volunteer in the kids' classes. I get to go to Eden's class tomorrow. Yay!
