First Day of Preschool

 

Yesterday was Drake's first day of preschool.  This may be the only year he gets since our amazing preschool teacher says she is turning in her mission papers in March.  I am happy for her, since this is something she has been working toward for a long time, but I am so sad that Drake won't get to enjoy two years at her school like my other boys have.

He was soooo excited to start preschool.  He has been looking forward to it for years as he has watched his brothers go and come from there and he has loved it when we have been able to visit.

He had a great day yesterday and last night at bedtime he came up to me with a big smile on his face and whispered in my ear "Mom, I am going to dream about school."

I know he will have a great year!!

Back to School

The boys started a new year of school this morning.  They were super excited to get back to school and see all their friends.  They were also excited since the new principal at their school is Mr. Hatch (their dad).

My little Jack is in Kindergarten this year.  He is soooo excited to be going to the same school as his big brothers.  He has the same teacher that Dallin and Thomas had and I know he will love being in her class.

Thomas started 2nd grade.  This is the first year that he does not have the same teacher that Dallin had for homeroom, but Dallin had her for reading and he loved her as a teacher, so we are sure that Thomas will have a great year.

Dallin is starting third grade.  This school is a K-3 school, so Dallin is one of the big kids this year.  His teacher is Mr. Rogers, a local favorite who says he is retiring after this year.  So, Dallin got in right under the wire.

It is weird to only have two kids at home for part of the day now.  The last time that happened was before Jack was born, so it has been quite a while.  We are all happy for a new school year to begin and we are hoping it is as good as all the others.
