It's official we are now the proud parents of an Elementary School Student! As many of you know Gina could hardly wait for this day to come, and as it approached disbelief began to set in. Addison meet with her teacher the Wednesday before school was to start for the Kindergartners and played shy until her mom moved to a different table, then she became the social little butterfly that we all know and love. At one point she wouldn't tell her teacher when her birthday was, what her phone number is, or what her address is. Finally after some coaching she told her teacher that her birthday was October 8th. (WHAT?! We all know she knows when it is!) Needless to say she warmed up to her teacher right away and was excited to be able to bring back her "homework" on the first day. (So excited that she forgot to put it in the basket so we had to go back before the next class started to put it in) Lil' JT is having a hard time with Addie not being there to play with but loves to go and pick her up so that he can play on the playground.
Here are some interesting things that have happened so far...
1. A new friend named Kaden, (she impressed him with her mad skills on the fireman pole)
2. Her first Scholastic Book Order form
3. Sleep Deprivation
4. New school jeans (they are way to big but we needed the length)
5. New pink backpack (Daddy picked this one out)
6. New folder and notebook (wasn't necessary but, Daddy chose the backpack)
7. Mommy not only waking up earlier than usual but having to get breakfast made
8. Walking to School and Home everyday (I'm not looking forward to the trek in the snow)
Pix of the first day....
