Well…we survived the first days of school!  Yay!

My big guy was excited to go back and see all his friends again.  Going into Grade 4, he’s in a different part of the school with a different part of the yard to play (or hang out) in.  He has many teachers, and transfers from class to class at times.  He definitely feels like he owns the school now!

And my baby girl has started Junior Kindergarten.  I can hardly believe it!  But we survived the first day – BOTH of us.  No tears at all.  (Which was good…because if she would have started, it would have been all downhill from there.)  She was very brave and walked into that classroom with her head held high, grabbed the teachers hand and went to put her stuff away.  Her stories of the day were so funny.  And BOTH of them were talking my ear off on the way home! 

It’s always a little bittersweet to see summer end and school start up again.  I hope all you parents have survived like me!!
