First day of school ....

Today was the first day of school for the kids.  We had a blast this summer.  As fast as it seemed summer flew right by us, the kids were ready to get back into a routine.  Well, maybe?!

Carli, she was all ready for kindergarten.  So excited and so prepared.  This sweet girl is going to have an amazing kindergarten year.  I love the confidence they have when they are truly ready.  This girl is confident and though she is extremely prepared academically, this is not the type of confidence I am talking about.  Here I am talking about her emotional confidence, her social confidence, her ability to be a leader.

Alexi, my big girl is going into second grade.  As confident as this girl is, she is equally as sensitive.  She couldn't wait to be back to school to see her friends.  She had a little disappointment when she realized she was not sitting next to any of her favorite friends.  This of course produced a few tears, but she quickly got herself together and moved on.  This will be a year of nightly reading, math and spelling homework.  Ugh!! They grow up too quickly.

Gavin, oh goodness, bless this little man's heart ... he cried and he cried and he cried.  He eventually slowed down but never really joined in the class.  Gavin became extremely attached to momma this summer.  Like climb back into the womb attached.  He is also going into a much larger classroom.  Gavin does love school and his friends, so I am confident after a few days he will settle right in.

Looking forward to a great school year and as much as I want to get to summer again, I don't want to rush time.  They grow up way too quickly.
