First Days of School

Last week Gabriel had his first day of Ms. Fuller's Kindergarten class, and I must say he's been looking forward to it for most of the summer.  It was not an easy decision for us to make to have him do one more year of Kindergarten, but at drop off any lingering worries melted away when we saw how confident he looked.  He loved his first week, and is just hoping he'll get to know his new classmates better in the coming days.

Lorelai on the other hand has been struggling a bit with idea of going back to school  She had such an amazing year with Mrs. Troxel in 2014-2015 that I think the idea of having someone else greet her at her classroom door seems just wrong somehow in her mind.  I can't say I blame her, Mrs. Troxel was quite a blessing as her first school experience.  But, I have no doubt that with time she will come to feel right at home in Mrs. Cambrice's class.  Lorelai will be attending a full school day for the full week in preparation of Kindergarten next year, so these are some BIG changes to overcome.  But, she's totally got this, despite the worried face and eyes holding back tears that she had today on her first day.
