Yup. This past September marked our official beginning of entering the world of public school as Alan geared up to start Kindergarten! We were all a little nervous and excited and it has turned out to be the best thing ever for everyone involved! We had been looking forward to it all summer, and then a day or two before school started, I started to get a little anxious...had I prepared him enough, etc. The first "day" for kindergartners was an orientation, where I went with Alan. And once we got in the classroom, all of my worries immediately left and I was calm as could be. Alan has a truly wonderful teacher and has had so much fun in class. He has been learning by leaps and bounds and made friends with his classmates very quickly. He loves it!

James also started Joy School this fall. We have a group of 5 moms, with 6 kids between us. I was a little nervous of having such a big class of 3 year olds, but they have been great. James had some trouble adjusting initially, and still struggles with the structure at times, but it has been a good experience for him as well. He is a bright little boy and an excellent singer who likes to do things his own way. :)
So proud of these two school boys!!
I feel like these pictures of their first days of school capture their personalities PERFECTLY. I still forget that Alan goes to school…surely he cannot be that old! Those those sweet guys a hug for me.
ReplyDeleteAwwww such sweet pictures. I feel like the one of Alan getting on the bus could have been taken at 3 Plymouth Ct. You can definitely tell how much he loves school. Jamesy's photos are spot on, too. Em is right, the photos capture their different personalities perfectly.
