On their first day, I am off to school getting ready to greet other people's children and make their start to the year great. At our home daddy gets the honors!
This year was especially unique.
First, Evan started kindergarten. In some regards this seems long overdue; I debated forever whether to send him last year as a young five, and now here he is a mature six and more than ready to go. He shed no tears, hesitated not even a little. Evan enthusiastically embraced the first days -- and the ones that have followed. He is ready.
Brendan is now a fourth grader- the big man on campus in his building. He has the same teacher that Andrew had last year as a fourth grader, so we are feeling comfortable with his class this year. He is feeling great as well about the year.
Finally, Andrew started middle school this week. His first day was a two hour orientation, then he and Chris went golfing the rest of the day. (Rough way to start the school year!) The next day was his first day on his own and he did great. He did have a little scare on his walk home. For the first time he is walking home by himself, and it is a long walk, so he was pretty nervous. After a quick trip to Target, we remedied that with a new bike, and yesterday was much more successful for him.
My first week was also great. It appears that I am going to have some fun classes this semester, and I am ready to dive in.
New starts, new students, new teachers, new school year. Check!
