Back to School time

The butterflies of anticipation in your tummy, the new school clothes and supplies, the crispness in the air…it’s fall, and Back to School time!

There are so many changes that are coming our way in the next few months. The first one began with starting school.

Hard to believe that this year I have a Kindergartner,

and a Second Grader.

They both have AMAZING teachers, which I have heard nothing but positive things about, (Truman’s we know personally from the ward), and that seemed to make the transition easier for me. (It is hard for me ‘giving’ my boys up…knowing these women will spend more waking hours with my children than I will!)

The boys were excited for the open house this year where they got to put up one of their racecars, for the art display in hall, and

see their classrooms.

The boys actual first day of school arrived, Tucker started a week before Truman. (The Kindergartners have evaluations/meeting with their teacher the first week of school) Tucker was ready.

We walked him there, and although he did look terrified when I left him at his classroom door,

He came home to brothers who missed him and made him super hero cookies,


and Tucker exclaimed he’d had a great day and was truly happy. I am happy to say that now, he has settled in nicely.

After a week of walking Tucker to school, Truman was more ready then he’d been! But was still a little bit nervous as well when his first day arrived,

(and his mother might have been a little bit nervous too, as he entered the big world of elementary school!) His nerves were mostly because he did not know anyone in his class, but has since more than rectified that situation…as we leave school everyday, pretty sure he says goodbye to over half of the class, and they all know his name and say goodbye to him. 🙂

And as we walked home, he choose McDonalds as the place to celebrate beginning kindergarten.


Now I have two happy boys who run to school bright and early every week day morning.

A wonderful start to a wonderful new school year.
