We have successfully completed the first week of school, so I figured it was high time for me to post pictures of my excited kids on their way out the door. In the interest of full disclosure, this is actually a picture of the second day of school. That's just how we roll around here - that and they were too excited to stand still long enough on the first day.
On the Friday before school started, they had a Meet the Teacher social at school and the kids were asking me every 20 minutes if it was time to go yet... that got pretty old by 3:30 when it was finally time to go! We were excited to find out that Lincoln has the same teacher Leah had last year. Mrs. Marino is great and I know she'll give Lincoln the freedom to work ahead and do some independent projects this year. Leah had never met her teacher, but she soon found out that Ms. Pena has her class put on two plays every year. That sealed the deal for her! One of her favorite things this summer has been the puppet show they put together for Activity Days so she is thrilled to have another chance to do something dramatic.
My kids have always been very independent and I love seeing them get so excited for the friends they'll make and the challenges they'll encounter. It's fun to see them head off to new adventures with a confidence that they'll be able to handle anything that comes their way and the knowledge that I'll be here to help them if they need it.
In other news, Lincoln pulled out his front tooth the week before school started. So he headed off looking a little like a boxer who got in the way of a well-placed punch. It's a good look for him :)
