back to school!
it seemed to really creep up on us this year. i don't think i even fully processed what was happening so the build up was pretty low key at our house and all of a sudden it was upon us.
the day before school started,
i was in the car driving to back to school night with max. i asked him, "what's your biggest fear about school?" he thought and said, "probably the fear that i don't know what my fear is."
ok! let's not create any anxiety here:)
i am really excited for my kids and the opportunities they have this year. so far they have gone into this year with no fear, or at least with courage and excitement.
back to school tradition...candy bar posters before school.
starting high school together. sadie's last year and abe's first.
and they are off...
max starting 3rd grade.
continues to work hard in dual immersion learning spanish.
his teachers seem really great this year.
kai started a new school this year. all the 5th and 6th graders go to an intermediate school. he was placed in an all gifted class. i'm excited for him to have a little more challenging setting for him academically. he also chose to play the clarinet this year. new adventures for kai!
dave took kai the first day to make sure he could open his locker:)
lots of kids, it's like a mini middle school.
vivian and i watched the opening assembly at the high school. sadie worked really hard on the opening video and student government had a little introduction. i'm happy i went. fun to see them involved in good things!
(can you spot abe running down the stairs amidst the freshman class?)
back at it! here's to a new year!
i cried every day of my childhood because i didn't want to go to school. almost positive i had separation anxiety, so it's fun to watch them go (without tears usually), work hard, and create good things for themselves.
love them so much!
