New favorite thing to do!! LOVE it!

First day of school 10-11

Reed started 4th grade this year at Grant Elementary. Reed was lucky to have met some kids that will be going to his school at baseball, football and our neighbor. But, unfortunately none of them are in his class. We just kept telling him to be himself and don't be shy and he will meet friends right away.  Well, he did!  He met three friends the first day and remembered their names!  Reed is a little bummed, because his teacher is expecting twins in October, so that means she will not be around for the whole year.
Reed loves being able to walk to school by himself.

Drew started 4k this year at Bright Horizons.  He had done two years of preschool while we were in La Crosse and absolutely loved it!  He as well was a little nervous about school, because he didn't no anyone at his school. He kept telling us he wanted to go back to La Crosse so he could go to his old school where all his friends are.  But, of course we told him that wasn't an option and once he started school he would like it here as well.
Boy were we right!  When I picked him up from school, on our walk home I asked Drew if he liked his school?  He looked at me and said, "I LOVE my new school!" That was so great to hear. He as well had met a friend at school and remembered his name.
Now, every morning he can't wait until 11:15 when we get to leave for school.  This year he is going in the afternoon which is going to be an adjustment, because he still takes naps about 3x a week.  I am hoping he will get used to it, but so far the first day of school he put himself to bed at 6:30!  He then slept for 12 hours. I am hoping we can catch up on sleep on the weekends and on Mondays when he doesn't have school.

Drew wanted to take a picture with Brett, so everyone would know he was his brother. How sweet!
