I never posted about Landon, Ella, and Eli's first day of school. Landon started school on Aug. 31st and was excited but it didn't have the impact that most have on their first day of school. He is in 1st grade or thereabouts. He did have to get up a little earlier and had more to do to get ready than in the summer. However, he didn't get on the bus, ride in the van or even walk to school. He stayed in his den and kitchen and started with the pledge and ended with lunch. Ella was very eager to "do school" as well so she cracked open some books and also learned about nomads. We had a lot of fun and of course Landon's favorite already is math. Later that week Ella and Eli went to their morning preschool for the first time. Ella was very excited about class and being at a new school. The most exciting thing was her pink backpack and her new art supplies (crayons and markers) that she got to carry in her backpack. Eli was a fan of his backpack until he realized I was leaving. They both had a good day. Eli is still getting used to the idea and seems to cry every time he sees the building but Ella is enjoying every minute. I do find that she was very tired after the first couple of days. Her favorite part of the day is art time where Eli's is probably snack time :-).

Hope everyone else is enjoying school again and getting back into the routine of the school year.
