Starting School 2011

The first day of school went very well.  Wyatt was quite a big boy heading off to first grade.  His teacher, Mrs. Joyce, is his friend, Margaret's, mom.  Of course, Wyatt was delighted to have gotten Mrs. Joyce as his teacher.  Wyatt has a small class, for Greenwood, of nineteen kids.  There are only a couple kids from his kindergarten class in this class, but Wyatt is fine, and happy to make new friends.
Drake was such a big boy as he went to kindergarten for the first day.  He marched right in and did his jobs, just like he watched Wyatt do all last year.  He was so matter-of-fact, so confident.  He was happy to have Wyatt's same teacher, Mrs. Iles, and we were happy as well, to not learn a new routine, etc.  It was a very smooth transition.
On Friday evening, after the second day of school, as I was putting Drake to bed, he cried because he wanted to go to school on Saturday. So sweet.


Kenna wore her backpack as we walked the boys to their first day...just in case a teacher invites her to stay for the day.  Kenna misses her brothers so much after a summer of being with them everyday.  She literally attacks them after school.  She runs to them bombarding them with hugs.
