First Day of 1st Grade

Last Monday I officially had a 1st grader! I can't say enough how thrilled I was for Andrew to start school, let alone the fact this year he goes a full day. While I still have a toddler at home, it's nice to have that down time and be able to give Luke the solid attention that Andrew got at his age. It was such a drag dropping him off at 8 and having to be back to get him at 11:40. You can't really get that much done in less than 4 hours. A costco trip and Target and then it was time to get him. So, It's safe to say I'm relieved and excited about the new schedule. did I mention we had that schedule for 2 years? We decided, since Andrew was super young when he started Kinder, to have him do another year. I believe it will be the best thing educationally we will do for him - the process was astonishing. Amazing the difference the second year made.

On the other hand I think Andrew really needed this as well. My little man's bran is way too active to not be absorbing and learning! We are already seeing some behavior improvements, so this may be just what the Dr. ordered!
