First day of school

Today we started back to school. Emmalee is in first grade this year (how did that happen?) and Eoin is in kindergarten this year ( again, how did that happen?). I can honestly say that this is going to be a more difficult year. Emmalee will do fine. She knows the routine and reads very well. I think she will fly through the phonics/reading portion of the year. Math will probably bog her down though. Eoin, oh little Eoin. I love him but man can he be difficult. The whining, arguing, disobeying really starts to take its toll after a few hours. We will have a fun year, though. He was so cute when I woke him up this morning. He hopped out of bed and said today is my first day of school. He was so excited. I am sure that after we get a good routine down, he will thrive and do very well. I also have to remember the first month with Emmalee. She and I spent several days in tears that month. I just have to remember to get some great pictures of them today and we will be set. I was going to wait for Daddy to get home so I could take some with him.

179 days left. I am looking forward to summer already.
