Back To School 2012

It's that time of year again and living in a state that does school year around, it seemed school was starting every week for the last two months. But finally it was our turn for back to school. And personally? I like having school start in September after Labor Day, it makes it so much more official.

This year Spencer is in the three year old preschool class and is having lunch at school. This works out well for two reasons...one being I have an extra hour to run errands and I also have two less meals to worry about every week. Yay!

I know for some, school can be very stressful and finding the perfect school or the most popular school can have some parents lose sleep for weeks...not us. We really just wanted a place where we felt comfortable and that had space. I am lucky to have a child that rolls with the punches and was super excited about being able to go to school. I think he is a lot like his momma...who doesn't mind change.

Preschool 2012

 The only person that was not so happy about school? Teagan...she bawled her pretty little eyes out at having to leave her big brother behind. I think she would have happily stayed with him and not even noticed I was gone. It is amazing to see their relationship as siblings continue to grow each day. I hope they will always be each others best friend.

I'd tell you what Spencer did his first day...but getting anything out of him is like pulling teeth. I need to get more creative with my questions so that he has to say more than no or yes. But I am happy to say he did eat most of the lunch I packed which made me feel better about him having lunch at school. Hopefully that will last the whole year.

How about you? How did your kids do this new school year? Anyone shed tears? I think my tears are holding back until Kindergarten...when I will probably be the inconsolable mother in the parking lot.
