Benji is a first grader and he is loving it! He got his same teacher that he had for kindergarten last year which made the transition easy for him. His first day was a long day he said but it got better each day. My brothers family is staying with us right now so he has been walking (actually running) to and from school with his older cousins Taylee and Kylee. That is probably his favorite part of the day.

I'm home! (2:30pm)

At the end of the week I asked Benji what is favorite part of school is, here’s his answer: “Recess, actually lunch recess cause it is longer. I like Isaac and funny Isaac. In class I like books and the listening centers. There are 3 cd players you play and follow along with book. I like math cause it has fun tools but we can’t make weapons.” And I had to ask him what he didn’t like: “Hmmm, I’ll say, ummm, is when I have to go home. I like school. I love school! School is soo fun. There is this funny guy I sit by for computers – oh wait computers is my favorite. This guy dances to lunch and I am after him.” and then we got distracted and the conversation ended there.

Packer's first day of Preschool!

Packer is going to school on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons. He is excited. He has been wearing his name tag around and loved his magic play dough that he made on the first day. He is in the same class as his cousins Luca and Sam. And Cali had to have her first day of school picture even though she just got to stay home with mom.
