It was the first day of school for the kiddos today and it was a completely different day than we’ve had for…..eight years. Thomas started first grade and that meant he and Marissa both were gone to school for the majority of the day, which was a first. It was especially difficult on the heels of 2020 when the kids were remote learning for at least half the year.
We walked them to the bus and even though just last
week Thomas “didn’t want to talk about school” and called the first day of
first grade “the apocalypse”, he was excited to go. And as you might expect, he
had a great day.
Marissa had a good day, but was a little worn out.
The A/C was out in the school and Thomas didn’t even realize it until Marissa
told him later. Their classes are on different floors though with Marissa’s on
two and Thomas on the first, which may have contributed to it being slightly
cooler.
Our nanny, Jessica, also started working for another
family today. Her new family has a teacher for a mom who needs someone during
the school year to watch her newborn, but also get the kids to school and be
there when they get home. The situation works out for us because we would need
her most in the summer, just when the teacher really wouldn’t need her. Even though
she worked today, she stopped by the house at around 5:00 to give the kids “first
day of school” treats. Very nice!
Picture time!
