The First Day of School

Wednesday was the first day of school. Ethan was very nervous Tuesday night. I talked to him and he was doing better. Bryan did their day before school blessings and Ethan said it helped. But he was still pretty nervous. Courtney was fine. She was really excited because she got the teacher she wanted.

Wednesday morning they had biscuits and gravy for breakfast. I made their lunches and got them all ready. 

Ethan wanted me to drop him off his first day so Courtney and I got in the van to drive him to Lava Ridge Intermediate School. There were a lot of cars but we got in line and it wasn't bad. He gave me a smile and walked into school and .... I lost it. He is so grown up and he was so nervous that I just started to cry. From the backseat came this little voice, "Oh mom, he is still your little boy." I had to laugh. Courtney says the funniest things sometimes. Bryan was waiting at home with a hug for me. ;)

Then it was a wait until it was time to take Courtney to school. Ethan starts at 7:40 and Courtney starts at 9:00. They both love it because Courtney gets me all to herself in the morning and Ethan gets me all to himself in the afternoon. 

Courtney and I loaded up and took off for the elementary school. I took in cupcakes so the class could celebrate Courtney's birthday. We found her classroom (it's the only one upstairs!) and found her desk. There was an activity to do so she got right on that.

Then she gave me a hug and I was off.

I had I make copies for PTA stuff so I hung around the school for a bit.

Ethan walked home with Brennon after school and I waited on the porch for them to get home. I wanted to hear all about it. I could hear them coming a mile away! They had a great day!!

He loves Intermediate School!! And he was excited to tell me all about it.

Courtney also had a great day!

I am so happy they loved their first day of school!!!
