Back to School

Since we are 2.5 weeks into the school year, I figured I needed to finish my back to school post!  Summer is over and we have quickly adjusted back to the early morning school routine.  I can honestly say after 12 school days, the boys did much better this year switching from the lazy summer morning routine to the hustle and bustle of school mornings.  At this time last year {and for several more weeks} I was still pulling my hair out every morning trying to make sure everyone was dressed, fed, and out the door by 7:35. 

We met Mrs. Cagle and Mrs. Garner the day before school started and both boys seemed very happy with their new teachers and classmates.  Mac was especially thrilled to have Jack P in his class for the first time since they were two!  Coe was disappointed not to have Frances, Emerson or Parker in his class, but after the note I got from his teacher earlier this week {more on that later} he seems to of adjusted just fine! 

We took our typical back to school pics on the first morning, and again the boys were more cooperative than in the past. Now if they can just keep the good behavior up for their teachers!

 

 

 

 

 

*We got a note in Coe’s folder this week that said he was having a little trouble keeping quiet during circle time as he seemed to really enjoy talking to the girls and getting their attention!  I asked Coe about this, and he quickly got a big smile on his face and said “Mommy I can’t help talking to Larcey.”  “Who is Larcey?” I asked.  “Her name is Larsyn but I call her Larcey.  She smiles like this {tilts his head to the side, bats his eyes and gives me the cutest smile ever} and sometimes she has her hair in one of those long straight things in the back {a ponytail???}.”  Clearly Coe has a crush on Larsyn, but when I reminded him the next morning to keep quiet during circle time and not talk to Larsyn until they were on the playground, he quickly told me that Larsyn doesn’t sit by him in the circle.  That is when he talks to Zara and Britain!  Albi asked if these other girls were taking Frances’s place and Coe looked at him like he was crazy and quickly announced that Frances was still his #1 best friend.  Between Frances, Sally, Zara, Larsyn, Britain and who knows how many other little girls in his class, I think Coe is doing just fine in the girl friends department!
