First Day of School

Today was the first day of school for the kids - and it was full of firsts for each child.

* The kids rode their bike, by themselves, to school!
* This is Kaleb's first day of full day school as JK/SK were only half-days!
This means staying for lunch and 2 snacks and having 3 recesses - yep - that boy is HAPPY!
* Navia and I had our first day, just us two girls!
* Emma's classroom isn't in the school, but a portable - first time ever!

The "traditional" beginning of the year photo - my baby is in Grade Three!!!


(Just a little reminder what Emma looked like on her first day of Grade Two last year)

Another "traditional" picture - my other baby is in Grade One!!!


(Just a reminder what my boy looked like on his first day of SK last year)

Off they go down our street

Turning from the street onto the bike path - the school is at the other end of the park

Kaleb standing in line to go into Ms. Browne's Grade One class

Emma with her friends before heading to the portable.

After dropping the kids off Navia "convinced" Daddy to go buy a coffee for him and a slurpee for her - hmmm - I really don't think it took that much convincing!!!

After the kids were dropped off we dropped Daddy off at work and then did a little bit of shopping, but there was a small (okay - LARGE) problem . . . Daddy had given her a LARGE slurpee!!! In other words, every 10 - 15 minutes we were having to find the bathroom . . . and when we were at the mall we didn't make it in time and ended up with our girl-shopping trip ending way too early due to wet pants - ug!

When the kids came home from school they were both really excited - especially Kaleb - he couldn't stop grinning saying "my French teacher is really, really nice and even when someone is bad she keeps on smiling!" - so cute!

Navia meets her teacher tomorrow afternoon as she'll be going to the local Cooperative Nursery School, which meets just down the road in the upstairs of the grocery store. She'll be going afternoons on Mon/Wed/Fri. So, beware - more pictures will be coming soon!!!
