Just a few snapshots from the kids' first day of school. Last night we had a family meeting and gave Sam and Maggie both a checklist of tasks they must accomplish in the morning before they're allowed to turn on the tv/computer or Wii. We also gave them each a new alarm clock and said some prayers that the morning would run smooth. Well sure enough we're off to a great start. Sam was up and had all his items checked off by 7:15 (we don't need to leave for school until 8:45). Maggie slept in a little later but also did a super job with her checklist. We snapped a few pictures and off to school we went. Too easy.....
I can't believe how old he looks! Wow, I have a 3rd grader!
And here's my sweetie pie that threw a wrench in the morning. Just as I was about ready to leave her classroom the waterworks began. It is such a terrible feeling as a mom to watch your child struggle with self-confidence. She made such a huge strides last year..what's going on?Ugh! Well her very sweet teacher bent down and was so very kind and told her a sweet story that got her giggling enough that I could sneak away. No phone call all day and then guess what she says when she got home "today was the best day of my life!" Hallelujah! Thanks for answering my prayers Lord!
Day 1 down...179 to go!
