First Day of School // 2011



The boys headed off to their first day of school today, officially a 2nd grader and a Kindergartner. We live close enough to walk, which is especially helpful since the school day starts at 7:45AM. That's actually the late bell. They have to be there around 7:30AM. That's a wee bit early for me. I'm more of a 9AM gal.



And S likes to take his time in the morning, so I was nervous about how this early thing was going to go for him. When he walked into his classroom and would barely look up to make eye contact, his teacher chuckled and said "You're not a morning person, are you?" There were no tears, but some decidedly not-so-thrilled little faces.





We couldn't just leave after those faces, so we loitered around their windows for a bit.





It was harder for me to take my 2nd to Kindergarten than my 1st. I'm not sure why. But it does make me wonder what it'll be like with the 3rd!

If We Lived In Japan...

...perhaps my kids would go to a school that looked like one of these designed by NAF Architect and Design...

[check out the water fountain in this one!]

To School

It's official -- I now have a child in big school. You know, not preschool, but the big old elementary school? He couldn't be more excited about it...


And was waving us out of his classroom...

I, on the other hand, wanted to stay and follow him around all day just to see what he was doing and if he was making friends with the other kids in his class and if he was eating his lunch. Since I can't, I'll distract myself with happy thoughts about school in general, like this box of chalk...


That's a happy thing for sure.

P.S. you can see our new door color in the top picture...freshly painted this weekend, and I love it!

School Days

We just picked up the registration packet for KINDERGARTEN!! I cannot believe that I will have a son in Elementary School. I recently came across these pictures {via the girl in the green dress} of a school designed by die baupiloten...can you imagine a school like this in the states??!
