First Day of School

The kids started back to school this week. Ty's first day of 1st grade was yesterday (Monday) and Keira's was today (Tuesday). Ty wasn't too excited to go back to school for reading and math but he really liked his teacher, Ms. Hogue, at 'Meet the Teacher Night' and was happy to know most of his friends would be back.

While I wasn't sure if Ty would be happy Monday morning, he was. He woke up at 6am, played with toys, at breakfast, and got ready for school. He was even OK with walking into school alone and found his way to the big playground (which is scary for mommy but Ty loves it!). When I picked him up he said he had a great day!!!

Keira is attending a home-based preschool that is 2 days a week for 2 hrs. She is so ready to go to school and even though today was only orientation, she wore her backpack! She even put shoes and socks on since "that is what brother does." Nice for Keira, her teacher said flip flops are preferred to make shoes easy (which Keira loves).

All in all...a good start to the year!
