First Day of School

The first day of school went surprisingly well. After months of anxiety leading up to today, we were very proud of how well Griffin handled the day. Griffin was up early to "organize his backpack" and lunch box and Ruby worked hard picking out the perfect outfit. Although he didn't take the bus, Griffin walked right into this classroom and started to play. One of his best friends, Patrick (Billie Joe's son) sits right across the table from him. His teacher, Mrs. Laba, is looking out for our little Griffin. She said he did so well today and is a great listener. We are confident that Griffin will enjoy his first year of school.

Ruby enjoyed "cubby day" at Northern Lights School. She will go 2-3 mornings a week where she'll play, bake bread, paint, and sing songs. Her symbol is a mountain - something big and strong. She also did surprisingly well on her first day. She was playing with her friend Henry, Zoe's little brother, trying to perform surgery on a little lamb who lost his eye, and being farmers. She also helped cut up apples and climbed in the playground. She says she is ready to go to school on her own (no mom and dad). The question is, are we ready?
