1st Grade

First Day of School. Ugh. Now it is officially back to packing lunches, uniforms, waking up extra early, you get the idea. Jaci was mildly excited. She got the teacher she wanted, Mrs. Coleman & she has lots of friends from last year in her class. There is a huge difference between last year & this year. She has grown 3 inches & went from wearing 5s to 7/8. She didn't even want me to walk in with her this morning - just drop her off! I said no way & took her in anyway. My baby is growing up!

ha ha  Jaci insists they have to button all of their buttons up.  Surely not.  I couldn't do that - just looking at her shirt makes me feel like I'm choking!  She also won't wear a belt (even though they are supposed to).  She says its too much to mess with when she has to go to the bathroom.  I'm with her there!  She actually let me french braid her hair this morning.  But as of tomorrow - she will go back to being the pony tail princess.

I'm at home with Lauren this morning.  (She was sad that her school didn't start today - me too!)  We took Jaci to school, then went down Snake Hill to get a donut.  But I forgot they are closed on Mondays!  Lauren said, "Thats ok mommy!"  She has busied herself cutting & gluing paper.  I swear, she could entertain herself for a long time with a glue stick.  We've also done puzzles & played school.  She is watching Diego right now.  Nancy is going to keep her this afternoon, so I'll go in to work then.  

Hope everyone gets back into the swing of things very easily.  Be Sweet!
