School daze

We are in our second week of both kids being in new school and man! Is it a whole new world.

Lil has definite pick up and drop off times now, homework, after-school classes (ballet and swim), and brings a lunch to school.

And Teddy's now at Lil's old pre-school five days a week. He's excited to be there, he says he likes art the best but his teachers tell us he plays with blocks the most. He's been too amped to nap there, which means early bed time which I gotta say, after summer's loosey goosey bed-by-9-or-9:30 isn't such a bad thing.

This is Teddy's last day at daycare:

And his first day at school:

 

This is Lil's first day at school:

Look, she's so excited she can't sit still. That's her friend Violet who is in her class (yay for having friends in class!).

And the two of them looking excited together. This is just moments before I started bawling. Something about all those little kids wearing those big backpacks, and the linoleum floors.

 

 We're still going day by day in terms of figuring out who needs to be where, when, and who will take them and pick them up. But so far, two Rodenhizer thumbs up with a snap for school!
