First Day Of School

I am way behind on this post, but better late than never, right? Gwen and Grace both started school on August 18th, and I cannot even begin to describe how excited they both were. They asked me about it for weeks-"Do we get to go to school today Mom?" So the night before we had baths, laid out cloths, made Gwen's lunch, and packed their backpacks. They were so excited...I was so nervous/worried.

Gwen-Kindergarten

Grace-Preschool 4yr Program

Georgia-she didn't want to be left out, silly girl.

Gwen was so excited to ride the bus. It was really hard for me to put her on the bus though-I couldn't stop crying. Gwen did so good though. She came home from school and said, "It-was-AWESOME!!" She continues to do good on the bus and in school. Her teacher said she just loves her, and that she's doing so well that she might have to come up with some extra stuff for Gwen to do in order to challenge her because she is just breezing through things. Gwen loves gym, music, the library, computer lab...everything!! She has an awesome teacher, and just loves school.

Gracie was anxious to go to school as well. Her preschool is only half day, and it's about 10 minutes from our house. I take her and pick her up every day, and while the first day was kind of hard for her because she is pretty shy, she came home so excited and happy. Gracie still looks forward to going to school every morning, loves having little bits of homework every week, and just loves having so many friends to play with. Gracie's teacher says she is doing very well and is such a sweet girl in class. Her teacher and assistant teacher are fantastic, and Gracie just loves school.

Georgia had a bit of a hard time at first with her sisters being gone so much, but she has done so well since then, and actually enjoys the time that we have together, whether it's running errands, or cuddling while watching cartoons, or helping me clean/do laundry. It's been wonderful to have one on one time with her so much, and we feel so blessed to be in a wonderful town with great schools and amazing, loving teachers for our kids.
