FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL--SEPT 4

Jessica is off to 6th grade! So far she is loving it! She loves walking to school with her neighborhood friends. I think she is loving the independence away from mom! She starts school and gets out 20 minutes earlier than Jared, so she gets to be on her own! Of course homework hasn't really picked up yet, but I have a feeling that may change her thoughts of 6th grade a little bit, but for now she seems very happy!
Jared....our little first grader....probably the cutest 1st grader at the school! But, unfortunately, not the happiest. He was telling us a couple of days before school started that he was going to be sick and wouldn't be able to go to school on the first day of school. We really think he talked himself into being sick, because Monday he had a runny nose that carried over into Tuesday, but not bad enough to keep him home. Anyway, he has come home every day saying he was crying out at recess because he can't figure out which line is his for when it is time to go back inside...this really stresses him out, and it is all he thinks about all day....poor kid. He has been coming home with his lunch being untouched, saying he wasn't hungry, but I think he is just too nervous to eat. He devours his lunch after school....then, of course, he is not hungry for dinner. I am sure things will get better as time goes on, but in the mean time we keep hoping and praying that the days will get better.



Kayleigh wont start preschool until the 17, but when it was time for Jared and Jessica to pose for pictures with their new backpacks, she had to get in on the fun, too! She claims to be excited about preshool, and riding her bus, but when it comes down to it, I have a feeling she won't be so sure about it!--In the mean time we will talk it up as much as we can!
