The First Day of School

So all the kids started back at school last week. Kimmy started at preschool. She goes twice a week for 2 1/2 hours. She loves it! She loves being a big girl and getting to get ready in the morning like Nate and Dana. She really likes the sandbox and the dress ups!

Nate and Dana started at their new school this year. Since we moved across town, they are going to the school down the street from us, instead of their old school across town. I was a little nervous for them, but after one week, they seem totally adjusted.

Dana loves it and makes a new best friend every day. She keeps saying that she just can't believe that she now has to do homework, but she secretly loves it. She tries to say "it's not fair that I have homework," but she can't get out the whole sentence without smiling. When I asked her what her favorite part about school is, she says that she loves the challenging work. Just like me, I loved school when I was little too.

(Did you notice that Dana and Kimmy both have the same pink boots for school. We found them at Target and they both fell in love. Dana was glad that Kimmy got some too, because she loves to be twins with Kimmy...so sweet.)

Nate is a little discouraged because they don't have any tetherball courts, but that just means he has to learn to play basketball instead. They seem to have some really good after-school enrichment programs too. He is excited to see some of his friends from around the neighborhood at school.
