New School Year

  

Audrey had her first day of 2nd grade on Tuesday and Charlotte had her first day of Kindergarten today.

Audrey was nervous about starting 2nd grade. Last weekend she told me she wanted to go back to 1st grade because she already knows how to do 1st grade. But after her first day she told us that she really liked her teacher, Ms. Fargo, and that 2nd grade seems like it might be OK after all.

Charlotte couldn't wait for Kindergarten to start. She's been anticipating it since preschool got out in June and counting down the days for the past two weeks. Last week we all went to meet her teacher, Ms. Devino, and Charlotte was instantly in love. I think she hugged Ms. Devino ten times. She reports that today (which was only a half day) was "boring" because "we only got to spend three seconds on the playground!"

Carol is very glad to be finished entertaining the girls all day. This year both girls are in the same school on the same schedule (8:15-2:20). Much less running around for Carol and nice big blocks of time.
