back to school time

This past Monday, the kids started back to school -- yeah!!!  Savannah is going 5 mornings a week, and Gage is going 3 mornings. Savannah happily immersed herself in her class right away and has already made a new friend named Maggie. Gage was very proud to put his backpack on, and happy the first day until Mommy left his classroom, and then the tears started. Forty minutes later he was still sobbing and crying for mama...and when I peaked through the window it was heartbreaking to watch him cry.  He stopped crying and had a good day, but day 2 was also a tear festival at drop-off time. Let's see if the 3rd time is a charm tomorrow..... Their teachers seem wonderful so we are hoping for a great year for both of them. Getting them both to stand in front of the sign that morning proved to be a bit challenging -- it's like herding cats sometimes with those two!
