Andrew’s First Day of School 2016

Andrew - First Day of School
Photo-A-Day #4165

Today was Andrew’s first day of school. He started his year of half day classes all week long. This gives me time to hit the gym all week long. The real test, however will be next Monday when I end up coming home from work and going right to drop Andrew off at school. I’m going to figure out how I’ll get sleep on Mondays. It will be interesting.

Andrew’s first day was a great one. He had a good time and made some new friends, he can’t remember the names of any of the kids except for a couple. That is to be expected from a four-year-old. He’s too busy being a kid to notice exactly who he’s playing with. Soon enough he’ll be asking me to go on playdates with some of the other kids in his class. He does like getting together and having fun with the other kids. Here is our conversation on the way to and from school today.

First Day of School 2016

Today was the first day back to school for Eva and Allison. I took photos before school and then they were off. Andrew and I had our first day together in a long while. We worked on a couple of videos. He helped me do some trick shots from the Trick Shot Sports toys. It was a lot of fun working on this and he liked it very much.

Andrew and I picked Eva up at her half day. We went back to the house and Eva helped me start another review and that is something that I’m so excited to show you when it comes out.

When Allison came home we went to our favorite Chinese restaurant for dinner. We were joined by my mom and dad and sister, Tara. Dinner was a great one. Everyone had a good time and we tried a bunch of new things. We still got our old standbys and favorites but there were new choices as well.

The school year is getting underway. Andrew is one week out from his first day and on his first day he is going to choose dinner. Next year we will celebrate on the same day.

Photo-A-Day #2707

Today was Eva’s first day at Pre-K. She’s been excited and nervous about it for weeks. We’ve been excited about it as well. I think that Eva’s really going to enjoy going to school five days a week now. Even if it is only half day. Her class is a nice and small one too so I think she’s going to get some extra special attention that she needs. I also think that she’s going to be challenged and that is really what she needs. Being excited about learning and having resources dedicated to doing so is going to go a long way toward her continued development. Continue reading First Day of School 2012 →
