The long anticipated day arrived weeks ago. August 15th and 16th. All three kids went to school. Gates is now in 1st grade, Ella in 4K, and Mady Claire 3K. Gates goes all five days, Ella four days and Mady Claire three days. All three did well going to school.
Gates was such a BIG boy. He went off to his new school not knowing anyone. He was super excited. Todd was able to walk him to the door. Gates trotted off into the big school with no fears. Amazing! Todd teared up watching him walk all by himself to class. :)
Ella was very excited to get back to school. She missed her friends. She is a social butterfly. She walked through the school doors as if she hadn't been away for the summer. She was ready and thrilled to be in her new class.
Mady Claire was not too excited about going to school. Well, she was until the first day came. She did ok for her first time ever in school. She let us drop her off and kiss her goodbye. It's the days since then that she hasn't been excited for Todd to leave her.
As for me, I'm a little saddened that the little ones are growing up. I mean the days and years have flown by. Of course they can't stay young forever. I love having some free time. Working on catching up with everything that has been on hold in my life for years...
