One Week Down

First Day of School 2009--Tyler (4th Grade), Jordan (2nd Grade), Carter (Kindergarten), Sarah (cute and smiley despite being woken up extra early!)

Can't beleive my Baby Carter is in school. According to him he is the "smartest kid in the class." How do you know that? "I just do. It's just the way it is." Oooookay. Self-esteem is important, right?

You just wonder where all the time goes.

We've had one week of school and only one note from the teacher ("Jordan needs more food in his lunch.") and one shirt worn wrong side out (Carter getting up at 5:00, showering, getting dressed, and putting on his pullover before I could see what was going on.) Let me tell ya...I'm feeling like mother of the year most of the time these days!

But! The kids love school--their teachers, their classes, and their friends. I find great peace in all of this regardless of the few minor mishaps. The boys are happy.

And I'm happy at home with my little Sarah. Ever since school started she is a little off schedule so she takes a morning nap. And, yes, I take that nap with her. It's been so nice to cuddle for a few hours. When we wake up we do all the jobs together and she loves it. I dreaded the day when school would start. But now, I'm actually enjoying a little time with my baby girl!
