School Days..

Ahhh...its back to school time! It actually feels kind of nice. I think I need to get back into a schedule and routine and get my life back under control! School forces us to do that.

Jessalyn is a bit too much like her mother though (who made her mother ride the bus with her to school everyday until January...and continued to HATE the first day of school until, well...she graduated). She was fine..until the second she walked into her new classroom. She started to cry..and wouldn't let go of me. Its so weird from her. She is so super independent...and not shy...the one that will stand in front of hundreds of people and sing a solo and not even sweat or act a teensy bit nervous...but it NEVER fails, she cries on the first day of everything. It doesn't matter what it is..on the first day, she cries.

Today was no exception. By the time I left she seemed a bit better and apparently she snapped out of it quite quickly and ended up having a great day. She is excited to go back tomorrow and insists on the fact that she won't cry. She's a big second grader now!

Out of all of my kids you would think that Ethan would have a hard time leaving me for school. He is so shy and reserved and hides from having to talk to just about everyone. But no. He gets to school...say's "see ya later mom" and heads off to his class. You can't even see him passed his backpack! He's just too cute. He had a GREAT day and is loving life!







I can't believe that I have two kids in school!! Its a bit surreal...
