First Day of School

The school year is over THIS MONTH. I can't believe how fast that happened!! Emmett has loved kindergarten. Everyday I ask him how school was and his answer is almost always "super, duper good!" It didn't start out that way, though. I was so stressed dropping him off that first day and drove away in tears knowing that I couldn't be there to help him. He's a child that thrives off of familiarity and routine, so the first few days were a big adjustment. There was also a group of mean boys that I always had to keep my eye on when I dropped Emmett off for the day. They singled out Emmett a lot calling him small, stealing his hat, and telling him to stop coming by them. THANK GOODNESS that didn't last long. Watching those interactions from the car broke my heart every time. Jason and I told Emmett to ignore those kids and not give them the time of day. That's what he did and they eventually stopped. Since then he has found his people and made some really great friends who also share a love of godzilla haha. Emmett loves the library, PE, and art. He's learned to read and write so well. He's passed all of his testing with flying colors (even before the school year began haha). He is one smart boy and I am so dang proud of him. Bring on first grade!!!

- First Day of Preschool -

Brielle was sooo ready to start preschool! She told me for weeks before it started how excited she was to make new friends and wear her unicorn backpack. She's the cutest ever. She loves her teachers, snack time, and Thursday prize day. As the year has gone on she's gotten a little more timid and shy, but I'm hoping next year that won't be the case since she'll have Nora and Callum in her class. Yay for having cousins as neighbors!!! I'm so proud of my girl. She's rocked preschool!

These kids are growing up too fast :,)
