This is Ashlan's first day of 4th Grade. It's hard to believe I have a 4th grader. She's getting so grown-up and mature, I won't know what to do with her in a couple years. I think I'm a pretty good mom to babies and toddlers, but when they start talking back and making their own choices is when I have a harder time. I'm excited for Ashlan to have the teacher she does. She just got married last summer, so she is quite young. However, it's her 5th year teaching and I've heard she's amazing!
Caitlin's First day of 2nd grade. She is LOVING school already and she too has a great teacher. She is super young as well, has been married for a few years, and is excellent with the kids. She graduated from BYU and for some reason that brings comfort to my soul. I think it's knowing that we have some sort of a connection. :) Caitlin seems to be getting along with the kids in her class, which I am thrilled about. We had a rough year last year with personality conflicts within the classroom and I'm surprised the teacher didn't walk out and quit. She was aware of those and requested all these kids be split up between the five 2nd grade classes. I think she has already made some new "good" friends, which makes me happy for her. It's always hard when your child comes home and says they don't have any friends and nobody wants to play with them. We've tried to work out solutions to her problems and she now seems to have found someone that wants to play. I can tell it's going to be a great year!
Our school had a "Back to School" morning instead of night. It seemed to work out pretty good. Of course we didn't plan to get there before everybody else did and had to search for a place to park. We were a titch late. I'm almost sure they were embarrassed with me taking pictures of them with a whole classroom full of kids....you can't NOT document their first day of school. They were good sports.
