This is our first year with TWO kids in school!
Elizabeth started second grade about two weeks ago. She went into this year with excitement and confidence! She has a male teacher for the first time, as well as a class pet! (Lucky the hamster just spent the three-day weekend with us.) There are two girls from the neighborhood in her class, so she was very happy about that.

Josiah had his first day of Pre-K today! Last week when I asked him about starting school, he said he didn't want to go. He'd rather stay home. However, by the open house, he was happy to show David his school and his new classroom. Today, he was excited to get to school. When I picked him up, he said, "It was the best day of school ever!" Hopefully, there will be many more of those :-)

Isaac had a pretty good day today, too. We stopped by Target and a fun Amish spice store on the way home. Then after lunch, it was about time to go back to get Josiah. He did ask about the kids a few times, but he'll get the hang of it.
I think both kids are going to have a great school year! Elizabeth loves school. She loves the learning and the time with friends. It will be good for Josiah to have something of his own, and to be able to learn with peers and other adults. It will be interesting to figure out the schedules with the new baby. I'm thankful my mom came out to help with Josiah starting school today. I am much more at ease knowing she will be here with the kids when things start.
