First Day of School

Well it was the first day of school today and boy did my kids look cute!  They were SO ready to go back, we had an amazing summer but they really do thrive on the routine of school and they both adjust so well to that routine.  I really can't believe that Jayme is in grade 3 this year.  We went to her opening day conference yesterday and the teacher had a small list of questions for Jayme and one of the questions was "Do you feel that you get in trouble a lot at school?"  And as she read it she laughed and said "Jayme has a reputation already, I don't think I need to ask this!"  I'm so proud of that girl, she didn't inherit any of my in-class chatty-ness!
Brady is in grade 1 this year, first year of full days!  He looked so cool with his faux-hawk today! He has the same teacher Jayme had in grade 1 so it's very familiar to us which is nice.  Believe it or not I didn't shed ONE tear this morning, I was all smiles and felt very good.  We are blessed with excellent teachers this year and I'm SO GLAD I still have Colie at home.  I can only imagine how many tears will be shed that dreadful year when she starts school!
