First Day of School

We left Utah at 3AM on Monday morning so that we could be home in time for the boys to attend the Meet and Greet at their school. Then we got them to bed early so they could be well rested (ha ha) for their first day of school. Jacob is now in 3rd grade and Ryan is in 1st grade. So far Jacob is loving 3rd grade and I am sure that Ryan will love 1st grade soon enough. I guess considering kindergarten was two and a half hours and 1st grade is six and a half hours things could be worse. He has had a stomach ache two mornings, and even tried to fake a broken foot this morning in the hopes of staying home. He won't go to the restroom at school, so he may actually have a real injury to his bladder to use as an excuse next week! All kidding aside, he has a very kind teacher and as soon as he gets used to a new routine I am certain that he will be as enthusiastic about school this year as he was last year (fingers crossed!).

Oh, those boys are SO dang cute! Sorry to hear RyRy is not enjoying school yet. I can't believe they only had kindergarten for 2.5 hours last year. That's not fair to have kids go from that to 6.5 hours! Gees! Glad to hear that Jacob likes his teacher. I can't believe he is in 3rd grade already!

Faking a broken foot? Well, that's a new one! LOL I think he might get points for creativity on that one. :)
