Hi Ho, Hi Ho, It’s Off to School They Go

August 17, 2010 4 Comments

Today was the start of the 2010-2011 school year for our kids. Thing 1 started 5th grade today, while Thing 2 started Kindergarten.

Surprisingly, there were no tears from Thing 2 this morning. I think having spent a lot of his 5 years on this Earth at the school, for various school-related functions for Thing 1 helped him be comforatble with the school and the people. Yesterday, he was able to go and “preview” his classroom, meet his teacher and mingle with some of his classmates. I’m sure that helped a lot, too.

There were only a few tears from the Mrs., which was a lot better than when Thing 1 started Kindergarten. You can read a brief post about her first day here.

Thing 2 was lucky enough to not only have his best buddy from preschool in his class this year, but it turned out they were seated right next to each other. We’ll see how long that lasts!

    Yep, today was a big day. Congrats on the little dude taking it so well. I assume it was business-as-usual for your oldest?

    Yup, for Thing 1 it was pretty much business as usual. She wanted us to walk her up to her class’s line (we joked about kicking her out at the curb) but once she was there she was fine with us leaving to take the boy to his class.
