School Days

School started several weeks ago and both girls are doing great so far. M is in the second grade this year. She loves her teacher and enjoys going to school everyday. She is even waking up easier for me this year which makes our mornings go so much easier. We have even been able to get all of her homework done with no troubles even with the 16 hours of gymnastics a week.

E entered the big time this year by starting Kindergarten. She only goes half days in the afternoons. She was very nervous before school started and really didn't show any kind of excitement in regards to starting Kindergarten (especially when people asked her). She just loved the first day, so now she very proudly tells everyone that she is in Kindergarten. She wants to go everyday! I have no worries about her academically just some worries about her emotional state. So far only 2 crying incidents, one where she thought she was in trouble (talked too loud) and the other where she thought she didn't bring back her library book (I had put it in her book bag the day before and she forgot she already returned it). All in all better than I expected. Enjoy some first day of school photos.
