First DayS of School

This week is all about starting school. Tuesday was our big "Back to School" day: Megan started ECDC and Zo&ueml; had a back-to-school night. Wednesday Zoë starts Second Grade. Friday I start teaching Seminary (early morning).

Megan returned to ECDC and to a new "old" teacher (old in the sense of she being Zoë's teacher, and I guess in age, too, since she's a grandmother now). Megan had a great day, saw old friends, and had lots of fun playing with peers. Unfortunately, I had to pull her out early because the girls had dental appointments. Megan is eager to return to school tomorrow. She asked me this morning, "Is today a school day?"

Zoë had a back-to-school meeting Tuesday night where she found her new teacher was Mrs. Lawson.
She was so excited to see so many faces that she knew in her class (although, I'm still surprised that nobody from church was in her class again this year). This class is predominantly boys, one of which is a neighbor across and down the street (yay!). I think Mrs. Lawson will be strict, but Zoë usually thrives in that environment (until she starts to tell other kids what the rules are...) She was very excited for school this morning,
and had fun waiting at the bus stop for our favorite bus driver, Ms. Renee (story for another post).

I'm eager to hear how her day went; I'm waiting for her bus to come home at the moment.

Looks like you have had beautiful days to start schools. I saw something the other day about a mom who takes the pictures like you have, but has the kids write out the sign so she also has an example of their handwriting from year to year. I wished that I had done that and thought you might like to do it on the second or third days...I love those kids.
