Nathan has started Kindergarten and Kieran has started pre-school. It feels very odd to have both of them in school. Like I'm missing a limb, or a baby or something. I am very proud of how well Nathan has handled the transition to K. He is loving it. After the first day when walking home hand in hand he said "Not a single teardrop on my cheek, Mommy. I'm so proud of myself" He is such a sweet boy and growing up so fast. He asks daily if tomorrow is Thursday because that is gym class and he needs to be wearing sneakers. Funnily enough, he owns only sneakers, outside of his cleats so I'm not sure why he is so concerned about it. I'd hardly send him to school barefoot or in slippers!
Kieran did very well on his first day at pre-school. He was sad and didn't want us to leave, but he did seperate as well as can be expected for a 3 year old that has never been away from his parents or grandparents. When asked if he likes school, he stops whatever he is doing, throws his arm in the air and screams "Yeaaa School" at the top of his lungs.

I have to say that I've spend the summer wondering how the start of school would go for both boys. Would they adjust, how hard will it be? But so far it has been a pretty smooth adjustment. I look forward to being around more for drop offs and pick-ups and not relying on my mom so much for that. Field trips, PTO meetings, play dates, homework, it's all ahead of us. An exciting time, but bittersweet in the sense that they aren't little babies anymore. They still need me, but in very different ways. I look forward to seeing how they grow this year and what new advertures school days bring.
