* These are some confident kids...adaptable and enthusiastic. Si, especially, burst through the door of his classroom and didn't look back.
* They still adore each other. I would catch Millie throwing Si little pearls of wisdom about what he could expect and where he could find her if he needed her during his school day.
* Oh my goodness...I need to pitch a tent and just live at that place. Seriously, we do drop off every single day at 9:00 am. Si's day ends at noon. Then I parade our circus back in there to pick up Millie at 1:00. Everyday. I spend the entire drive home trying to solve the high-level engineering problem of how to commute the two miles in anything other than the van (traffic's a bit of a nightmare) with all three kids. Too many for biking. Too many for a jogging stroller. I WILL figure this out!
* I am having some flashbacks to high school. For the first time in a while, I am really feeling like the new girl in town. This school is in the heart of a very established neighborhood...families are working on their fifth, sixth, seventh year of sending their children to the school. I'm definitely the rookie...a bit confused, kind of turned-around, often standing-in-the-wrong-line-for pick-up. Moms are friendly, though, and I'm looking forward to friendships that will be grown in this place. For all of us.
Millie's first morning, celebrated with streamers and 'school-cake' (yummy coffee cake thing).
So excited to get this show on the road!
Oh sweetness.
Si's first morning. He also got streamers and some surprise dunkin doughnuts from Daddy.
Places to go, things to see, teachers to charm...
