"I Love School!"

...This is what Josiah said to me this morning. He had asked if he could help pack his snack, and as he was getting it in his lunchbox, he said to me "I love school!" He's had a good week. Today was the first day that someone lost a bear on the discipline board, and of course Josiah was telling me all about it. His teacher told me today at pick up that Josiah has been wonderful and is a very good example and leader to the other kids. Hoorah!! I'm very proud of him for how well he is making the adjustment. Other than being tired (and I think not WANTING to be tired), he's done great.

We are getting adjusted to the schedule as well. Today felt very good...almost normal! We had a surprise visit from Sandi and her girls. And it was strange to think that for ONCE, there were more boys than girls! For the longest time, Merideth was the ONLY girl. Then Callie arrived, and of course now Baby Morgan is here. But with our big boys in school, it was lots of girls!

We picked up our storytime schedule yesterday from the library, and I met with my biblestudy leaders last night, so the fall is shaping up!! Hooray!

I'm so glad to hear that he's having such a great start to his school career. These first school moments are so important as they shape his opinion of school for years to come! You're heart must skip a beat when you hear such wonderful compliments about your boy being a leader! It's going to be a great year!

Isn't it great to have the "fall" back and the routine of things? I have felt so out of sorts all summer...I'm such a creature of habit! So glad Josiah is having a great week...

Yeah for loving school. They are always so interested in who wasn't on green. Glad he knows green is a color he always wants to see!
