Wordless Wednesday - Kindergarten is VERY tiring!

Rough day for the Kindergartener

My Prince on his 4th day of Kindergarten!

Princess on her 4th day of 2nd Grade!

My little Prince had a rough day at school yesterday. A neighbor of mine saw him crying in the cafeteria, where they corral the kids before school starts. She found out from her first grader what class the Prince was in and went in to see if he was OK. At that point he was just sniffling but was doing loads better.

I went to help in the lunch room yesterday. The first weeks of school are always hard for the new kids on the block. Little hands have a hard time opening milk cartons, juice boxes, and individually wrapped lunch items. I volunteered to help the kids with this. What I really wanted to do was to sit by my little Prince. I worked until all of the kids we eating their lunches and then I went over to sit by him. He was so happy to see me!!

I know that every child has to go though this, but that does not make it any easier. He is my child and he was hurting. The Knight and I are going back for lunch today. Here's to hoping he is having a better morning!

2nd Day of School!

2nd Day of school and so far so goo!

The Prince had a great first day of Kindergarten! He came home and demanded that we do his reading homework! We even have friends over! I read with him right then and there. I want him to keep that fire for learning!

Princess declared 2nd grade the best grade yet! She and AB are not sitting next to each other but I think that may be a good thing. They get kind of chatty.

It has been a good start to the new year!!

P.S. The next few days the kids will be modeling clothes that we found on their special days! Princess did not get her Daddy Special Day yet but it is coming. Instead I had a special day with her last Saturday and we bought some fun new outfits for school!

Heading to the bus stop!

Time for Princess to get on the bus!

Prince was SO excited to ride the bus for the first time!

I met the bus at the school so I could get them to the right class.

Princess asked to sit by the Prince to keep him company!

Here is the Prince's first school desk!

Time for Prince to practice writing his name!

(not so) Wordless Wednesday: Kindergarten Round-Up

I took the Prince and the Knight to Kindergarten Round-Up yesterday morning. The boys were surprisingly well behaved.

My little Prince looks so small and so big at the same time. Here he is standing next to the school.

Kindergarten Round-Up basically consisted of the principal and others talking about the school. Then there was a tour, then we filled out the paper work and showed all of the necessary documentation for Prince to begin school.

I brought colors for the boys and that helped hold their attention while I filled out all of the forms.

What a BIG day for my little Prince!

One Year Ago...

I was just going through some old pictures. Here is Princess's first day of Kindergarten!

The pictures of the boys show how much they have grown up in the last year too!

Wow!
