Avery is officially a 2nd grader and Jaelyn a kindergartener
Avery’s now a “bike rider”

Jaelyn at her desk at Open House last Thursday

Our tradition growing up was to take first day of school photos on the front porch. So I now keep that tradition alive with my own kids. Avery rode his bike to school today but forgot his bike lock so we had to take it home with us so it wouldn’t get stolen. We walked Jaelyn into her classroom and she was super nervous! She wanted me to stay in the back of the room until they were about to start. I stayed about 10 minutes and then waved to her letting know I was leaving. She had an awesome day! Did crafts, sang songs, met new friends, went to the library, ate lunch in the lunchroom, all the fun stuff kindergarteners do, except take a nap (which she was glad!) They go from 8-1:50p. The older kids go from 8-3:20p. I think they let the kindergarteners out earlier because those parents don’t know how to obey the traffic plan. When we were leaving the parking lot, there were 2 moms outside of their cars yelling at each other over the traffic plan (one was going the wrong way and the other was telling her about it!) I thought it was going to actually come to punches. The lady in the wrong was torked off for getting called out on it.
We dropped the kids off this morning and then took Braden out to breakfast at IHOP and then to Wally World to get a new bike. He was spoiled!! He still can’t peddle but it’s so cute to see him on that little Huffy! Also, I had to include this photo of my coppertone butt baby! It’s too cute to not share.
