Kindergarten

Back in late August, we had a big transition in our family; Reed started school. It was full-time Kindergarten at a new school for him, St. Thomas More Catholic School. I think we were all a little unsure of how it was going to go, but overall I would say we've settled in quite nicely.

 

First Day Excitement

 

I'm not exactly sure who was the most excited!

We were so proud of Reed for being so brave

(and Cora for being a great photographer.)

Pick up time and still with smiles!!

Glad to be reunited though.

We love school.

Cora is not in preschool yet but insists on wearing her backpack to be like Reed.

 

Reed has loved school from the very start, but that isn't to say there haven't been any bumps in the road. The first days of school were half days. He'd go a few hours and still have hours at home to play with his sisters and super-fun Mom ;) after school. Then the full days started and he wasn't so sure about school anymore. We quickly realized he enjoyed school while he was there but he was convinced that Kate, Cora, and I were having the time of our lives at home without him. When we were able to convince him that wasn't happening and we were saving special fun activities for after school, he lightened up. He's made tons of friends and is even starting to read. It is awesome!

 

I'm looking forward to our first parent-teacher conference next week.
