Samantha and Noah headed back to school today. While it is an exciting time, it is difficult to get back into the grind. Personally, I wish that summer would never end and the kids could just stay home. Doesn't that sound good? Then again, I want my kids to be well educated and have many opportunities. Maybe, they could just extend summer! Or seize to assign homework? Okay, that may not be to realistic, but I do hope that their homework is realistic and reasonable. Don't get me started on that! All I can say is "Yikes"!
Noah was very excited to get back to school. He has a good attitude and is looking forward to a great year in Mr. Farrell's class. He was very proud of the table points that he earned! It looks like it is going to be a fun and educaional year. It will be interesting to see how Noah handles the homework, as last year was not too demanding in that regard.
Noah walked home from school with a couple of his best friends. It was a little hard for me not to pick him up on the first day, but he really wanted to walk. I think Sam will probably start to walk too. I have to be honest, it is very difficult for me to let them do this. With that being said, I think they need to develop this type of independence. I was realizing that Sam is in the 7th grade and I can still count the times she crossed the street without me. Both schools are about a 10 minute walk from home. It will also be nice to spare the little ones this trip. Going to soccer and theater practices will be enough running around for them.
This year we dropped Samantha off (as close to her locker as we could) with her overflowing backpack. That thing must have weighed 50 pounds, which is more than half of her body weight. I was afraid she would tip over if she leaned to far in any direction. I was a little nervous for her, as she couldn't get her schedule until she arrived on campus. Apparently, all went well. She had a great time and is happy with her classes. It helps that one of her best friends is in almost all of her classes.
Faith has preschool orientation tomorrow. She is very excited to start school with her best friend and cousin, Lorelei. Her official start date is September 3rd. We are praying that she doesn't have an extreme case of seperation anxiety.
I will post the pictures tomorrow.
