School Days!!!

The kids now have a full week of school under their belts and things are going well. Nicholas just started kindergarten and he has had a rocky start, but the last few days have been better. He has shed lots of big crocodile tears, but I know its normal and its such a huge transition to be at a big elementary school compared to his relatively small pre-school. Grant is now in 2nd grade and has gotten off to a good start. I am amazed at how much faster kids now days learn things. He has a test every week over a chapter book he reads along with a spelling test and a vocabulary test!! Last Friday, he also had a math test, so that's 4 test in 1 day on the 1st week!! Harrison will start his pre-school next Wednesday and he has been enjoying some 1 on 1 time with his mama. He is such a sweet little boy and I have cherished spending some special time with just him. Mainly our time together has been spent at the grocery store, Target and out running various other errands, but he doesn't mind. Every night when we put him to bed, he asks "where are we going in the morning?"

The first day- Harrison wanted to be in the picture too and act like a big boy. The other night, I was getting the kids lunch boxes out and packing them and he brought me his and told me what he wanted and he set his backpack by his big brothers backpacks.
