Addy started first grade a few weeks ago. She loves school and her teacher Mrs. Weight. She likes being a big kid and staying at school the whole day. The highlights of her day are recess and eating lunch at school. Today was a big day for her, I gave her money to eat school lunch. She usually takes a sack lunch, so today was a big deal. I am feeling a little overwhelmed since Maren has been nursing non-stop so I finally caved in and let her walk home from school with her friends. Most days, this works out. There were a few day where I was getting really worried because it was late and she wasn't home. I found out they were taking their sweet time wandering home, stopping to rest in the shade, using the port-a-potties at the park and then finally making it home. Things are better now that we've chatted about coming straight home. Addy loves to give her friends that she walks with a popsicle to eat on the way home, yesterday there were at least 6 kids on my porch begging for popsicles. Addy is doing great with her reading, she is reading "Ramona the Pest" right now. That was one of my favorite books as a kid. She enjoys doing her homework which I hope will continue in the years to come.
Sydnee had her first day of Pre-school on Tuesday. She was up and dressed by 7:30a.m. and asked me if it was time to go about every five minutes. She was so happy to go and to wear her new "school clothes" she had her clothes picked out weeks ago. When she got home from school, she talked non-stop until bed time. She is so eager to learn. We have home school every day where works on her letters and numbers and lots of work books from the Target dollar bins. I am so thrilled that she is enjoying school. It's good for her to get out of the house and away from mom for a while.
