School Days

School is once again in session!  Zuri is transitioning into a full day with first grade, and Kai is back to preschool for a few hours a week.

Zuri is enjoying first grade so far.  She was nervous about being able to find her class, but she hasn't had any problems.

I was nervous about her being at school all day, and especially her eating at lunch.  J and I decided to have her eat the school's lunch, thinking that it might encourage her to eat more than if she brought lunch from home.  I'm not sure if she is eating anything other than the chocolate milk, which she is so excited to tell me they serve.  She really wants a lunch box, and although I tell her that she is getting lunch from school, she continually talks about getting a lunch box.  Funny girl.

We had fun taking pictures for her first day of school this year.  She was very excited, and has several people in her class that she is friends with.  I love watching Zuri with her classmates because they are always so happy to see her--and she to see them.

Kai was still not feeling the best on his first day.  We debated letting him go to school, but in the end we thought he would be okay.  He did fairly well, and made it through the two hours in class.  If I hadn't been so sick and dealing with a sick River, it would have been really nice to have the time with just River and I.  It's going to be so strange to have the house so quiet!

 His second day of school, Kai did much better, and was very happy throughout the day.  He smiled and was making his noises as they did their activities.  I think he will enjoy school much better this year as he gets used to the routine.

 

He was all tuckered out from class, but he got a sticker!
