The New School Year

Blake has been back in school for two weeks now and she's loving it again. This is her third year at the Children's Weekday Program (CWP) at our church. She goes to school two days a week just like last year. I've really been enjoying her enthusiasm when she's describing her day. She loves school and I love having a little one on one time with Emma (and a few moments during that time by myself when she's napping), so everyone wins when the school year begins. On a funny note: she calls her class the "4-year-old class" and for a while there this summer she was convinced her birthday was magically going to coincide with the first day of school. I was finally able to help her understand that she's actually in the 3-year-old class and she just happens to have a birthday that comes early in the school year (only three weeks to go before the big 4 birthday she's been looking forward to for so long now).

Here are some pics of her on the first day and little sister striking a pose in her apple dress in honor of the first day of school (Blake had some apples on her dress too and I seem to be getting more and more into the whole "twinning" thing or at least coordinating).

She looks so ready to go to school; what a little gorgeous one. And Emma is all, "when can i be like Blake and go to school, Mama?" So adorable.

Isn't so fun to hear them tell you about their day! I love to hear it from their perspective. It's great she loves school!
