Goodbye, Summer!

The 2011-2012 school year has officially started.  Ethan started with a half-day on Monday, and Caleb had his first day of kindergarten this morning.  Since kindergarten has a staggered start, he'll stay home tomorrow and be back on Friday with the whole class (just kids with last names A-K went today).  After Ethan's first day, he came home and said "it was awesome" because they didn't have any seatwork.  (He was singing a different tune yesterday.)  Caleb has been SO excited to start school.  In fact, when I came home from parent orientation yesterday, he was disappointed that I didn't have any school work for him to do.  This morning we could tell he was a little bit nervous once we got to the classroom, but he cheerfully did what was asked of him.  We took a picture and left.  I had been very emotional after dropping Ethan off for his first day of kindergarten, but not this time.  Jonathan and Anelise came along, so after leaving Caleb with Miss Curry, we wandered around for a few minutes and found Ethan's classroom too.
