Back to School.........

The Friday before we went down to see who Julia's teacher would be for 2nd grade. We were surprised to find out that one of the 1st grade teachers had moved up to 2nd grade, Mrs. Watson. She was excited to meet her and to see who was in her class.


Tonight we went to Julia's school to see where her new class would be and meet her teacher. She got to pick out her own desk and meet Mrs. Watson. She picked a desk by a girl she knew from Primary. We walked out of the school and Julia was so excited she kept saying, "I want to go to school right now!"

We went home and got ready for school the next day. Julia helped make her lunch and picked out her outfit to wear for the 1st day. Layne gave both kids back to school blessings for the new year. They both sat very quietly and listened.

Christian also gets to go to preschool this year. He will get 2 years of preschool in before he even gets to kindergarten. He is just as excited as Julia. We went on a Thursday morning to go meet Christian's teacher. She has the preschool right out of her home in our neighborhood. And she is also Christian's Sunbeam teacher at church.

We went to her house and she showed them where to take off their shoes and hang up their bags. Then we went downstairs to see the classroom. It was so cute and Christian found his desk and colored a picture and played with play-doh while Mrs. Gen. talked to all the moms. When we left he got to pick out a special pencil and we took a picture with his very first preschool teacher!
