Going to Preschool

Will was so excited this morning. He was ready to go by 8:00 am and the bus wasn't scheduled to pick him up until 8:52. We sat on the porch and talked about what fun things he was going to get to do at school. He had his lunch bag and his backpack. I took a few pictures of him waiting. Then the bus pulls up and I follow him down the sidewalk (to get some pictures of him on the bus) and he turns around and says "You're not coming with me!" Jackie (the bus driver) laughs and says "He sure is independent!" I smile and wholeheartedly agree. My baby is riding the bus to preschool. As the bus pulls away I get a little teary. He's growing up so fast.

First day of School

Lauren is entering junior high this year. She has her own locker with a lock. She has been practicing with the combination for days now. She has to switch classes every 43 minutes. She will have school dances. She was only a little nervous. I am nervous right along with her. Junior high can be difficult for girls. I only hope that she has a better experience than I did.

Alec begins his first day of 3rd grade today. This year he will switch teachers - one teaches math, science, and social studies, and the other teaches language arts, spelling, and reading. It is his last year in the Milledgeville building until he enters high school. He is excited. I am in shock at how big he has gotten and how fast the time flies by!

Will gets to ride the bus to preschool next Thursday! Pictures to come!
