Monday was the first day of school for us. Landry and Megan are in K from 7:55-2:55pm and Clay is doing "Learn and Play" from 9-2pm. They were all super excited, jumped in without even glancing back at us and have had a great first 3 days.
Some highlights:
MEGAN: Upon being asked by our friend, Naznin, about her lunch on the first day, Megan listed everything but her sandwich.
N: No sandwich?
M: I didn't get a sandwich.
me: Ham and cheese?
M: No Mommy, I didn't have a sandwich. (said just matter-of-fact)
me: Oh Megan - did you forget that your lunch box has a bottom compartment with a zipper?
M: It does? (as she is racing to the corner where she's thrown it)
She rips it open, finds the sandwich and yells "SANDWICH!" and proceeds to eat the entire thing in 4 seconds!
Today was the third day of school and Landry has already accumulated 2 "warm fuzzies", 5 "Bug Bucks" and has come home with her folder elevated from green (regular, good day) to BLUE (a great day - almost perfect). She is loving the reward system her teacher has in place. That kid will do anything for a prize!
Clay came home on the first day to report:
1. I made one friend, but I forgot his name.
2. I learned lots of stuff, but I forgot what.
3. I got hit in the belly.
On day two, this was his sole synopsis: (w/ mild sarcasm) "Well, I didn't get hit in the belly!" Which, I guess, is the same as when I say, "It's better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick."
It's been a really fun week - will report more as it comes. Still owe the first year summary but I'm missing a pic I want to put in so it may have to wait a while. Gotta run - chaos in progress.

hey--don't like this new thing where you don't title the post. The only way I know there is something new on your blog is in the link on mine when the title changes. Of course, it has been so long since you last wrote anything, I assumed you were Done with it.
Really? August? Really?? I am going to take you off my blogroll if you don't post something soon.
