First Day of School

Yesterday was Micah's first day of school. He is in the first grade this year. He was not looking forward to school starting, but ended up having a great time. In fact, when I picked him up from school today, he said, "I love, love, LOVE the first grade!!" So, I think he's adjusting well. Here's a picture of him from his first day of school:



Samuel started kindergarten today. He was so excited. He has been counting down the days since the beginning of August. I had originally signed him up for the section of kindergarten that meets every morning. However, once Hope arrived home, we realized that she naps everyday from 11 - 1, which would have made it impossible for me to pick up Samuel from school. So, I ended up switching him to all day M-W-F. He was exhausted when I picked him up from school today. He said he really liked kindergarten, but it lasted too long. Bless his heart. Good thing he can rest and relax on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Here is a picture of him on his first day of school:



Today also marked Samuel's first time riding a school bus. He was so excited. Here is a picture of Micah, Samuel and our neighbor, Esther, waiting for the bus:



And here are Micah and Samuel sitting on the bus together:



The boy's school has smart boards in the classroom. When Samuel arrives at school, he is supposed to find his name and drag it into position to let his teacher know he has arrived. Here is a picture of him practicing with his teacher:



I think we are off to a great year!!
