First Day Jitters

The last three weeks have been filled with lots of first days and all our jitters are out.  Woohoo!  We are settling into the routine of public school.  Abby has been very tired some mornings, but she rallies and has seemed to enjoy her days.

Finding Her Cubby

She didn't want to pose for a pic with Mr. Francis, as she was pretty nervous.

Her desk was next to her friend Nate.  They have been in school together since they were two.

As we left, she whispered to me that water was in her eyes.  We put a tissue in her desk and I scrammed so she could get busy and not think about missing me.  I think we were all glad to get the first day behind us.  Surprisingly, I didn't shed a tear.  Caroline kept me busy and we had her first dance class that morning with friends.  Southlake had early release at 11am the first week so they could assess the kids one on one in the afternoons.  We loved it and were glad to ease into our school routine.

Caroline started school after Labor Day.

She adjusted easily and is having fun in her new classroom.

Ms. Linda was excited for the giftcard Caroline brought her the first day.

 First Day of Ballet and Tap for Caroline

Caroline missed the first jazz class, as she was home with strep.  Abby wanted to go on her own and had a good time.

 Nonnie treated them to some new dance bags.  The old bags were too small for three pairs of shoes.

 When Abby got home, she was so sweet to teach Caroline the jazz steps she learned.

The next week, Caroline was ready to get her groove on!

 They love taking the class together.

 Caroline had her first day of Museum School this past Wednesday.

 She has a snake and a hamster in her room.

 She is also taking a soccer class this fall on Friday afternoons with some friends.  She gets out of school at noon on Fridays and then hits the field at 1 o'clock.

 She liked the hula hoop activities.  We have started everything but church choir and Caroline's swim lessons, which will be two afternoons a week for a month.  Next week will be our first time to have a full week of every activity.  They are definitely keeping me on my toes!  In the next couple of weeks, I also hope to start getting some calls to substitute. These are busy, but fun times!
