First Day of School

Well the first day of school came and went. Ellie is an old pro at her school by now, and walked right on in on day 1, already knowing her teachers and several friends. It's hard to believe she will be in kindergarten next year.

Here's Ellie working away on Day 1.

Tommy was so excited to go to "Ellie's school" this year. He was thrilled to get his own red school bag like Ellie. Now Tommy has never been a child who has liked drop offs, but for some reason drop off on his first day was a breeze. He went  in like a big boy and had a great day!

I think part of the appeal was that his teachers had him choose how he wanted to be greeted by looking at a piece of paper...with a handshake, a hug or a high five. He was excited to make that choice. Here he is choosing.
