Thumbs up for school! |
They might be big" boys, but they still love to snuggle with their blankets.
We walked to the school ths morning and it really put me in a good mood. It reminds me so much of living in Europe and walking everywhere, plus it's a much nicer transition before school. We saw squirrels and crabapples and a firetruck. We talked about stopping and looking both ways before crossing the street, and both boys got to press a button at the street crossing to make the light change for us.
When we got to school we took a picture in front of the school's sign.
Sam couldn't wait to get inside and get his hands on the classroom diesel engine.
Sam told me this morning that he would share the diesel engine "tomorrow" and we had a long conversation about sharing the classroom train set with all his new friends. I forsee this train causing a lot of problems for Sam, but we'll see... Sometimes he surprises me.
John also loved Sam's classroom and wanted to stay. He cried almost the whole way home (until I reminded him that as long as Sam's in school, he gets to play with all the trains by himself and that cheered him up considerably).
congratulations, sam!
ReplyDeletethat walking to school business is great now, but listen to this south to north to south transplant: in a couple of months, be sure you all are wearing long johns, layers, layers, layers and a nice big scarf around your face. and warm the car up first. ;)
Lovely! I wish we lived close enough to our school to walk. Walking with kids is a delight - unless yo have a stroppy toddler alongside! Good luck Sam!
ReplyDeleteWell Kate, I was forced to lug the huge double stoller because walking anywhere with John is like herdng a cat. And he tantrumed the whole way home (standing up in the stroller facing me) and then whined all te way home because he wasn't allowed to stay and play on the playground (again standing up, and this time he fell backward out of the stroller into some grass) so even though it sounds easy, it isn't. Nothing ever is with kids. LOL
ReplyDeleteYay for Sam! How was day 2?
