Dallin and Elaine were excited on their first day of school. Elaine (once we get her out of bed in the morning) is almost overly exuberant about school. One friday when I picked her up she excitedly told me it was friday and "you know what that means?--only 2 more days until monday and then I get new homework!" I hope the enthusiasm wanes a bit so she can save some for the teenage years. Dallin is doing super and just loves reading and is very good at it. There are 5 2nd grade teachers at his school, so he only knew a couple kids in his class as they all got spread out, but he makes friends so easily it wasn't a big deal. I drive Elaine as I have her going to a different elementary in order to have 1/2 day kindergarten. I could go on for pages about my thoughts on full day Kindergarten. Dallin walks or rides his scooter with a friend two doors down who is also in 2nd grade. There is a pathway from our neighborhood that backs up to the school so it's a short distance.

Abby has the same backpack as Elaine. She was excited to see that they picked out the same one. They are getting big.
Great work.
