David Started kindergarten, he is in heaven being able to hang out with his friends all morning! The kids are going to a brand new school built just a few blocks away.
This year Wesley Started 2nd grade. He is one of 2 kids in his elementary that were selected to join a gifted program- he is looking forward to that.The first day of school is always an emotional one for me. After I put my little guys on the bus, I walked back home quickly so that the other parents wouldn't see me getting teary-eyed. I know that they are so thrilled to be going to school, but I kept asking myself if I had done enough to prepare them for all of the stuff they would encounter in their new environment and hoped that they would be strong enough to choose right choices without any parental influences nearby; I'm sure that our Heavenly Parents felt the same way as they sent us off to this "school"of life. I know that I need to put all the care I can into making home a haven no matter what happens to them anywhere else.
For two years in a row, the first day of school has been really hard for me too. It starts a day or two before the first day--I feel so nervous and edgy. I guess I'm worried that they'll get off on the wrong foot or feel ill-at ease . . . don't know what it is, just that it's horrible.

Such cute pictures! It must have been so sad to see Daje go to school. It's going to kill me when Will goes.

Amen. It's a constant work and worry. I'm so happy to know I'm not the only mom crying on the first day of school!
ReplyDeleteCarli! I didn't realize you have a blog! I tried to get on but I need an invite...I would love to see your family pictures!!
ReplyDeleteI saw this post only today, I'm so happy for them =) Do Dage like school? It's weird 'cause I would have asked you "how is it staying at home only with Keller now? Easier?" But it's not like that because there is Adam! =) =) Actually it's funny to think that know Keller, while Wesley and David are at school, is the "oldest baby"! He must be so kind and patient playing with his little brother =) =) Tomorrow I'll start university, and I chose BIOLOGY (because I haven't passed medicine test, I'll try it again next year) and I'm so excited! Probably my parents feel a little bit like you because they're seeing me growing up so fast in these days (also because I've been working on an art exposition since September 18th =))
ReplyDeleteHugs and kisses to everyone =)
I love you
