School has begun and summer is coming to an end. All went well the first week of school. The kids missed Avery and she missed them too. Of course we were up at school helping out two days- Avery sat in her front pack both days and even fell asleep in that noisy lunchroom. Gracie Kate got lost b/c she was chatting with some big kids she knew. I noticed she was missing after I saw her teacher counting the kids over and over... I just knew it was her. Sure enough she comes running across the lunchroom into my arms balling. I am glad I was there. Gracie loves hot lunch.. you'd think it was good or something, but she loves it... I know she eats dessert first- such a sweet tooth. Maddie loves her class and has lots of her friends in her homeroom. Hayden states he as the nicest teacher this year. When I asked why he said b/c she takes us outside for extra recess! So far I have not had to carry him to the bus stop and demand he get on the bus. What a difference a year makes! My little "big"kids are growing up!!! Where did the time go?
