Another Mile Marker

September 2nd, 2010 · 7 Comments

 

We’ve hit yet another mile marker in the development of my youngins.  They finally entered public school!

I can’t believe my babies are now first graders.  They looked so small standing with their new classmates this morning outside the elementary school.  The school is, incidentally, where I went K-6.  It was odd being back at that place.  

Beyond being in public school (can I get a YAY for no more weekly checks to Tutor Time!), they are in separate classes for the very first time.  They are quite happy about it.  Their KG teacher was also very supportive of the decision (which the school made for me) to split them as they’ve been bickering in her class.  Logistically it is a bit tougher but no more so than two other siblings in different classes.  At least they’ll both be at the same building!  Will make Back-To-School night a tad difficult.  I’ll probably have to draft the grandparents to attend as well.  Will be a bit of a flashback for them :)   Alex’s teacher is someone *I* went to school with!

Oh yeah, I’ve been knitting and spinning :P   Hopefully a post on that stuff soon.

Craft on!

    Look at them all grow’d up! (And Kat’s braids look particularly fetching.)

    What I want to know?

    What are you going to do with all that extra money that you won’t be sending to daycare anymore?? (grin)

    I remember the first time I met you at Rhinebeck…they were in a stroller! Scary. (My oldest grandkid is now in THIRD…scarier!)

    Congrats on their going to school. Isn’t it such a nice feeling to keep more of your hard earned money every month. The first day of school is mother’s day for me because I don’t have to pay for summer camp for two + daycare for the baby. I wonder if this means more spinning wheels?
