First Day of 1st Grade

Today was the first day of 1st Grade. Connor and Ryan were very excited to go back to school to see their friends.


This year they are in Mrs. Jio's class. They were in so excited to get to school, they wanted to make sure we left early to get to school before the gates open. The school gates open at 8am and school starts at 8:15am.

We did arrive before the gates opened so the kids were happy, especially since a lot of their friends were their waiting too.

This year the kids get desks instead of sitting on the floor and at tables. In the below picture, you can see where Connor and Ryan sit in the class. They were happy with who they sit with in their groups. Ryan is at table #1 and Connor is at table #4.

For comparison, below is a picture from the first day of Kindergarten and 1st Grade.

Connor lost his tooth too!

Connor lost his tooth today. He lost the same one that Ryan lost yesterday. The tooth fairy is getting a workout with two visits in two days. I guess they both want to be toothless for school pictures next week.

Ryan lost tooth #4

This morning Ryan lost his second top tooth. This makes four total as he has now lost his two bottom front teeth and two top front teeth now. This morning he was crying because it hurt too much to eat breakfast. I looked at his tooth and it was just barely hanging there, so I asked him if he wanted me to pull it out. He said yes, and it came out easily. He was happy for it to come out because that meant it didn't hurt anymore and he could eat his breakfast. Now, with just a couple days until school starts, he will have a toothless smile for picture day.

We can't leave Connor out. He wanted to show off his smile too. His top tooth is pretty wiggly too. It should fall out within a week or so.

Zachary's Room

Zachary's room is finally complete... at least for the most part. His room is a Disney Dogs and Cats theme.
