Back to School

I like this Back to School stuff in January/February. Great time for new starts. New year, new primary class, new grade.
Started off with a special Back to School Dinner and a blessing by Dad. Dad told Joel that he was a true leader and with that came responsibility to lead kids to choose the right. He also told him that he was very lucky to have such a special mom who could help him through school. Tear jerker moment.
Our William. Don't know where to start with this kid. He started Monday at Wesley Preschool from 9-3. I can say this, he wasn't any different at school than he is at home. When a teacher tried to take his picture he yelled, "Don't take my picture and then growled." :)

Then it was Joel's turn. He went Wednesday to meet his teacher and to get interviewed for placement.

First day. He was ready by 8:05. School starts at 9:10.
He loved the first day. He made a friend named Parker, ate his entire morning tea, recess snack and lunch. (Seems like all they do is eat) I was happy to pick him up!
