First Day of School for 2011!

My what a difference a year can make. This time last year at the start of the school year, Grace was less than impressed as you may remember from this blog post. And now look at her this morning! Very confident and more than eager to go. One if the perks of working at the same school your kids attend is that you know who their teachers are, so we knew all throughout the holidays that Grace had Mrs H and Milly had Miss W who was the same teacher she had last year so she was extra happy. Milly is in year one this year and Grace is in year three. Year three? How did that happen? I still remember her first day of kindy! She didn't want me to hang around and see her in the door this morning, lucky I got to chat to her teacher in the staff room about how it was going. Milly let me walk her to her room and come in for a few minutes, then I was shooed out of there too! We have two happy confident kids so should be proud of that. 2011 is going to be a great year for both of them.

Wow, they look so much more grown up! Hope they have a wonderful year - Jordan is in year 6 this year, his last year of primary school-how did that happen?

Happy first day of school!!! It makes much more sense to start the school year near the beginning of the calendar year. My North American brain is forever thinking of September as the year start, not January!
