I can't even believe it... where did the summer go? Truly!
Madeline started THIRD grade last week - Are you kidding me - third grade? Surely not ... but yes, it's true! She is our big 8 year old and so excited for school.
She has a super energetic, amazing teacher, Ms. Osias. Madeline comes home each day with some awesome stories about how Ms. Osias taught them that day - from talking with English and French accents to standing on her head to
review the class rules!
This super wiggly top front tooth that's dangling lower than the others is
just on the verge of falling out...
The evening of the third day of school, she lost it! This makes a total of 3 lost teeth! The Tooth Fairy was generous with $2 for that top front tooth! She's been singing "All I want for ____ is my two front teeth!" Filling in the blank with various holidays!
And today, our little big boy started kindergarten. I can't even believe it! My adorable little baby boy is not even a tad bit like a baby anymore!
He was so ready to start school asking for days when he was going to get to go!
Here's Mr. Bernie, the security guard at the front door. He worked here when Madeline went to kindergarten, too. It's so fun to see him again!
He learns all the kids' names and offers a comforting, warm welcome every day!
We found his bear with his name on it!
His cubby...
Hanging up his backpack...
His patient and loving teacher, Mrs. Ward....
And he's off playing Legos and ready to start the day!
We are so proud of our precious boy!
Susanna will start preschool in September, we hope! The word on the street is that Special Kids is starting a two morning per week preschool class for 3-6 year olds! This would be amazing - we cannot sing enough praises about Special Kids! Hopefully we'll have her first day pictures in about a month!
