Ready to start the day
Second, Jacob began middle school this year, 6th grade. It is insane that we now have a middle schooler; kids in 2 schools. He has his first locker and schedule to follow. He is in all the regular 6th grade classes; math, science, social studies, language arts, and as well as homeroom and beginning band. Jacob decided this summer that he wants to learn to play the trumpet so he has had a couple days now of learning something very new. We live so close to the elementary school but not so much to the middle school, so Jacob is also riding the bus home for the first time. He was excited to have some friends on the bus with him. It drops them near the elementary right before it lets out so he met us there to catch a ride home. He had a great first day and really enjoyed the new school. Today he had another change when they switched his schedule a little but he rolled with it, he will do great in middle school.
Jacob off to a new school
Camryn is in 2nd grade this year and she is so excited! She has a super great teacher. She is the teacher Jacob had for Kindergarten and 1st grade and we love her. She has some friends from the last 2 years with her and she feels pretty good knowing the ropes already. Camryn practically jumps to school she is so excited for class.
Camryn so ready for 2nd grade
And the next big change, Bailey started Kindergarten yesterday! We now have 3 kids in school. She was not nervous at all and was excited to be in the same room that both Jacob and Camryn had Kindergarten. She has the same teacher Camryn had for Kindergarten, another of our faves. She has school every other day so she gets to eat lunch at school as well. Today was an off day for her so she has only had 1 day of school, but that is great because she was tiiiirrrrreeeeeddddd this morning to get up and going. She had a lot of fun yesterday and said she just didn't want anything to end but she also did want to go home at the end of the day. I am so glad for her excitement and hope that tomorrow she will be able to get up and going. It is very early for us night owls.
Bailey is eager for Kindergarten

Isaac has the big change of being the only kid at home for the first time. It will be interesting tomorrow. Jeff was off yesterday to take the kids for their first day and to enjoy the fun of it all. Bailey was off today and home with us. So, tomorrow will be the first time all of them go and leave him and I home all day. Hopefully he will enjoy being the helper and not miss them too much. I will probably have a lot of "Cars" and superhero play time in my day :)
After we picked everyone up yesterday we got to sit at home and listen to them all tell us about their day and ask each other questions. It was so fun and relaxed. Then we went to DQ for Ice Cream for Dinner-plus some chicken strips for some real food.
Ice Cream time, a first day tradition
It was a really great first day of school! Today went well too and we are off to a good start for the year.
