As I was getting Ava's "first day of school" board ready last Monday, I realized that I was finally able to include our little guy in the "first day" pictures!
Ava was so happy and ready to get back to school. She's excited to see her friends, determined to take her time in completing her schoolwork, and focused on being organized this year. Ok, ok, this last one has a bit of a push from me...yesterday morning, we went through the entire school calendar and marked important dates into her planner. I told her that her planner is the tool we would be using to track all of her activities. I figure it's never too early to teach her how to plan her time appropriately, so she's not a hot mess for the rest of her life.
G was also super excited to move to his new classroom. I met his new teacher early in the week, and am already SO impressed by her communication methods. I have very high hopes for how well this year is going to go for our little G! He's bringing home pictures that he draws, and I can usually figure out what they are. No more crazy scribbles for this little guy! Plus, he's starting to write his name, which just blows me away...they're actual letters! (I know we went through this phase with Ava, as well, but it's still just as amazing with G!)
The weather has been absolutely gorgeous lately, so we're trying to soak up the sun before the snow flies. I've been going on daily walks over lunch, and last night, we had a bonfire with the kids, and enjoyed some really awesome s'mores. There's a slight chill to the air, and I've been noticing brightly colored leaves on the ground, so it's only a matter of time before it becomes apparent that fall is truly here. Time to get out the hot chocolate and sweaters, I guess!
