This last week has been a blizzard of preparations for school and anxiety about school. We attended three open houses to meet all the teachers and make sure everyone could find all necessary classrooms and lockers. We acquired the required supplies (and put Rosebud's name on all of hers). We tried to remember what time we got up in the morning and when each kid leaves the house so we could set all the alarms. We laid in supplies for lunches (Nut Brown and D) and snacks (Rosebud).
Everyone made it out the door on time! Rosebud caught the bus! No one forgot their backpack!
Best and worst of the day:
Rosebud - best: her teacher is nice! Worst: one of her friends from last year is in her class but totally ignored her when she tried to say hi.
D - best: found a dead frog on his way to school. Worst: only one and a half classes with his best buddy Kieran.
Nut Brown - best: his groups in pre-calculus and culinary are cool and he anticipates a good time with them through the year. Worst: he remembered his backpack but didn't actually put anything in it. No lunchbox, no notebooks, no pencils. Fortunately there was a random pencil in the cupholder and a graph paper notebook left in it (from last year?). However, zero lunch was had. And he'd skipped breakfast to finish packing his backpack!
Overall, I think we're off to a good start.
