Back To School


Another summer has completely flown by!!! And now it is time to send the kiddies back to school! This year is especially fun because Tyler is a big boy in kindergarten now! The week before school started him and I were able to go to the school to meet his teacher and she gave him a tour of the classroom and we spent a few minutes there visiting with her. He was so bashful, it was funny!

On the first day of school he was excited to go, just nervous once he got there. He just stood beside me out on the playground and didn't want to play on any toys or anything. And then once we went inside and he sat at his table, he didn't hardly even move, he certainly never made a sound lol! And for anyone who knows Tyler that is extremely out of character for him! I gave him a hug and a kiss and told him I would be back and that was that. When I picked him up from school that day he was all excited and had soooo much fun! But then the next morning back to Mr. Bashful! He's been in school about 10 days now and he is starting to come out of the morning nervousness a little, although he is a little more clingy when I leave now. So funny, I never thought he would be clingy! He absolutely loves kindergarten though and his teacher is AmAzInG!!!



And the girls were so excited to start back too! Ashlie is in 5th grade and is so excited because she has the same teacher that Sari had for 5th grade (Mr. Price)!!! She is in heaven and Mr. Price loves to read so she is excited about all of the reading this year!




Sari is a big 8th grader this year! The biggest change for Sari this year is that she decided to ride her bike to and from school this year. It originally started because we thought she was going to have a pre-1st class and she would have to be at school at 7:20. That is right in the middle of when I am trying to get everyone else ready so she decided to ride her bike. We rode it a few times during the summer and she was very comfortable with where to go and what to do and actually very excited to ride her bike. About 2 days before school we realized she did not get the pre-1st, but she still wanted to ride her bike. So we said go for it! It is working great now that we have established the importance of being home by a set time.
