1st and 3rd grades. I'm not entirely sure how this is even remotely possible. There are still days I swear Colton is that cute little chubby guy bouncing around learning new words, or that Emmalyn is the sweet doused in pinks and purples newborn....but here we are, 4 & 2 years in to school, respectively.
As we drove to the school for sign up, we asked each of you who you wanted as a teacher, and Colton you were quick to answer with Mrs. Brewer, because you'd had her in summer remediation, and really enjoyed her. Emmalyn was quick to say anyone BUT Mrs. Banes. Colton found out he got Mrs. Brewer, but Emmalyn, you were a bit disappointed when you found out you had Mrs. Banes. However, as you progress through the school year, you speak very highly of Mrs. Banes, and seem to be thriving in class.
You were both so excited for your first day -- and even know the picture routine, and didn't haggle me for the pics I wanted. Your Dad and I are so proud of you -- proud of the way you fearlessly approach new situations. Your courage. Your faith. We talk alot about being a good friend, showing Gods' love, and doing our best. We know you do this day in and day out, and while we've spent a decent amount of time cussing Go Math/Common Core Math these first few weeks, you both are doing fantastic in school.
Keep up the good work, kiddos. We are so very proud of you! :)
And Keaton -- you didn't get in on the first day photos or fun....but I treated you too. We didn't want you to NOT feel special on the first day at Pam's without the bigs. This seemed to help heal your pain...
