First Day of School

Our school district started late this year, as they are doing construction on the middle school campus. September 5 was Ethan's first day of third grade.   He was excited, but as usual annoyed that I made him "dress up" on the first day and not wear sports clothes.

When Jason went to pick him up, Ethan's teacher recognized him--turns out they were classmates at Northwestern way back in the late 90s!    What a small world.

Alaina also had her first day in Pre-K today.   She has joined the "Llama" room, and now will be attending school 5 days per week.   She was pretty excited as well.

The coolest thing was that my dad was still in town so he got to walk Ethan to school with me.   Both of us reminisced that we did not remember our first day of third grade 30 and 60 years ago, respectively.   So probably Ethan wont remember this day either.   Good thing we have the blog.
