First Day of School (Times 2)

Well we all survived the first day of school (times 2).  Since the kids were enrolled at Kids Village, and we already paid for it, the school worked it out so the kids could attend for the month of August, which really was only 2 weeks, but I don't think we could have done it any longer than that!  Both kids had their first day at Kids Village on August 19th.  Since Liam is starting Kindergarten, the public schools didn't start for another week, so that the teachers can meet with them, and do their assessments.  So Liam had afternoon K for the first week at KV.  Rowan also went M/W/F in the afternoon at KV, and T/TH she went to her new school near home in the mornings.  (I know confusing).  Then after the first week, Liam started public school near home in the mornings.  So for the last 4 days in August he was going to school near home in the morning, then off to KV for the afternoon.  I had his lunch all ready, and he ate in the car.  The kids actually did amazing!!  But like I said, glad it was only 2 weeks?!  It was pretty crazy.

It was so cute, they had music and a red carpet to greet the Kindergarten class!
Think Liam is a little overwhelmed by all the attention : )

Taking off to class, he waved.  After 3 years of preschool I didn't think I would cry, but I did get teared up a bit...the school is so BIG, up to 6th grade there...he just seemed so grown up!  The second day I parked the car and started to bring him in, just to be sure he knew where to go, but he told me at the front entrance that he knew where to go, and I didn't need to bring him inside.  I trusted him, and sure enough he was fine!  So weird seeing our little boy grow up so fast!!!

I'm so glad school is going so well. They both seem very happy and content and making new friends. They are going to do great.
