3 down.....2 to go!

Back-to-School

Syracuse Arts Academy

August 18th, 2010

It's 8am & here we go! Spencer is sooo happy to be back at the charter school....I am SERIOUS! We are both excited for a great year ahead. The school is WONDERFUL, we are so LUCKY! This kid is right where he needs to be.

I managed a quick shot as he stepped out of the car :)

By far one of the hardest decisions I have ever had to make....

same class

or different??

I went with what the pre-school teacher told me to do. She has taught them for the past 2 years, I figure she would know. Her exact words to me were, "Grace is way too dependent on Bo." I can't argue that. I don't want him to resent her for always relying on him & following him around? BUT, maybe this is what twins do? Look out for the other one? Maybe it will be her turn at some point to look out for him?

IF I could have kept them home I think I would have (at least for one more week!)..... They cried. I cried. For the first time sending kids to school, I was one of the moms coaching my kid"s" through the door.....crying. The four older kids never cared! I had to hold my composure until they were gone because they have cried soooo many tears about NOT wanting to go to kindergarten! "PLEASE DON'T MAKE US GO!" After a few days I think it will be a good thing, like I hoped, having them in different classes. On the other hand, for some reason, I feel like they came together & should be together. Who am I to keep them apart? They do have a very special relationship & one I do not understand the depth of. It was VERY hard.

Right here we were done taking pictures....camera still in hand I said, "k kindergarten buddies let's go" Then they did this....quick click of the camera......
