Back to school!

Well, our summer is officially over and school is back in session! This year will be a little different since ALL the kids are actually at preschool and the mama is too!

 

I started a few weeks ago with pre-planning & this is our second week with kids. It has been great so far! It feels great to get out of the house & use that part of my brain again. 3 year olds are definitely different than 1st graders, but it has been so much fun! I am working with a great teacher (who actually taught G when he was 3!) and have 9 precious kids. I am trying to find my groove with balancing everything, but I know we will figure it out! I'm just super thankful that I get to work where my babies go to school!

 

The kids are adjusting just fine! I was most worried about Cheney but she has been great. Her school naps aren't spectacular, but her teachers say she is happy all day! She is in the monkey class (isn't that so fitting?!) and her teachers are Ms. Tracy & Ms. Christy.

 

Griffin is in the penguin class this year with Ms. Pat & Ms. Vicki. He was SUPER excited that they were penguins because he loves them. He waddles like a penguin now all the time...ha! He has a few friends from his class last year & a bunch of new faces. It took a week for him to adjust & not be sad, but he does tell me he likes seeing me in the hallway. He won't wave to me but at least he likes to see me!!

Grayson had his very last first day of preschool EVER last week! I can hardly believe my first baby is in pre-k! Grayson has been so excited about pre-k all summer. His teachers are Ms. Patti & Ms. Shari and he has a lot of friends from his old class! He is definitely a creature of habit & was so happy to see so many familiar faces at orientation! He's had a great start & always tells me that school was so fun and that he is really tired at the end of the day. They must keep those 4 & 5 year olds busy!

 

These 3 look way too grown up. My heart can't take it! Here's to a GREAT school year!
