School Ties

The yearly door shot of my effervescent school boys.

"Oh gosh, she's got us back against this brick wall again. Try to appear enthusiastic."

T, uncertainly certain that preschool is just "okay."

The great part is around the corner, we're sure of it! On the drive home after the first day, T apologized for evading my questions about school: "I'm sorry I didn't tell you about my day, Mommy." "That's okay, T. You can tell me when you're ready." And that was the end of it. I am slowly gaining bits and pieces... We'll see how things go from here! :)

M with an on-purpose, silly smile. He's four and already humoring my constant motherly snapshots. Isn't that part of my job description? Part of his?

As predicted, M has fallen into step and seems to be back in the flow of school and liking it. His class is MUCH calmer than last year, which is SO GOOD for him. He received a "warm fuzzy" puff ball the first day for being a good listener. Cute! :)

Evidenced from the pictures: We are in the thick of our first week back to preschool! Shouldn't this mean I have more time to blog and muse about my life here in Gasperini-Ville? Not the case. Every. other. activity. and. group. has. also. started. this. week. So why am I up late posting? Because I can't seem to slow down... Too much going on! Stay tuned for our recent swimming lesson update (yes, that started this week too!)
