School Starts

Rockwell started 2nd grade this week. He has been so excited to go back ever since we went to Back to School night last week and he met his teacher and saw his friends. The day before school started he told me that he's ready for a break from summer. Me too buddy! Summer was so much fun, but by this age, kids are ready for structure and schedules. I'm glad he was so excited to start. And I'm glad he let me walk him to class this year. I like that on the first day. :)

Since the weather still feels like summer, we decided to play with the slip-n-slide when Rockwell got home from school. We all had fun with that. I do, however, wish we had room for it in our backyard. I'm sure our neighbors had a great laugh at watching a woman in her mid thirties slip-n-sliding. :) Rockwell and Tessa kept doing the T-Wolf sign while they slid down. Cute!

   

  

Tessa started preschool the next day. She was so excited to start too! We rode bikes over there, she ran right inside, and didn't even look back. 

  

I was really surprised when I picked her up and she told me she didn't like preschool at all. She said she was feeling shy and so she didn't do any of the activities. I wasn't expecting that with how much she was looking forward to starting preschool. While I was putting her to bed that night, she did tell me that there was a boy that was really mean to everyone. He was hitting one of the other boys. I don't know if that was all of the problem, but she did seem to really not like that. Hopefully she will like school more and more each time she goes. I hope she makes friends with the other kids soon and won't  dread going every time. 

Damon was sure excited when it was time to pick Tessa up. They are best buds right now, and he missed her! 

  

Tessa LOVES her new backpack. She had to get a picture with it.
