Last week, Evie started 3rd grade. She was super pumped to go back to school especially because a bunch of her buddies are in the same class as her. In fact, she got to choose her own seat and she's sitting next to one of her besties. She was all smiles on the first day of school!
For some reason, the kindergartners started this week instead so Nora got to have a whole extra week of summer before having to get up early to trek off to class. She had ants in her pants waiting for her big day. She's been SO EXCITED to be joining her sister at the big kids school! For the meet the teachers event last week, she picked out a fancy dress to wear. And then today, the first day of class, she surprised me as I got out of the shower this morning - she was already dressed, she pulled me in close, said "mama" and then opened her mouth to breathe her toothpaste breath on me! It was pretty cute.
At school, she wanted us to drop her at Sockeye, the before school care program that she and Evie are enrolled in. I insisted on waiting with her until the bell rang though so she had to contend with us hanging out with her taking pictures. By the time the bell rang, she literally pushed me away, said bye and walked right into the building without a backward glance. Man, I was fighting back tears but she was happy as can be. What a big girl!
She came home happy with her first day and said she made a friend (she forgot the name though) and thinks her teacher is really nice.
