First Day of School - August 14th

Today was the first day of school for Christlyn and Ethan. Ethan couldn't get out the door fast enough and was not thrilled to have to stop and take pictures. After watching Christlyn get to go to school every day for the last two school years he is thrilled to finally be going himself. He bounced right out of bed this morning, threw on his back pack and headed for the door. He was not real thrilled when we made him get dressed, brush his teeth and hair, and eat breakfast. He had his eye on the door and wanted to go. Christlyn, the old pro now, knew the drill and fought getting out of bed, lingered over breakfast, and dragged her feet out the door to pose for her picture.
But she got excited about getting to show Ethan the ropes and took upon herself the responsibility of telling him everything he needed to know about school. From the Janitor's name, to how much fun recess is, to the showing him the computer lab and library, and how classroom procedures worked, she tried not to leave a single important detail out.


Ethan was happy to already know one of the boys in his class and they took to playing right away. I could barely get a goodbye hug out of him. Oh how fast they grow up!
