Back to School

I never thought this day would come, but all of my kids are in the same school! Granted, it happened much earlier here in Mexico than it would have in the US, but I am still doing a happy dance. Life just got a little less complicated...they all start and get out at the same time which makes school meetings, conferences, presentations, etc. easier to manage.

The Friday before school started, Lydia and Nolan were able to go to school and meet their teachers.

and Miss Karla

The preschool staggers the start, so only Nolan and Ethan had school on Monday (Lydia came for support). Unfortunately, this is the only good shot I got that day. The first day was really interesting because I dropped Nolan off no problem, but I cried after dropping Ethan off (I haven't done that since he went to preschool for the first time). I was already feeling bad for him because the one friend who is in his class is out of the country until at least January and then the teacher spoke only Spanish to him. It was fine (we do live in Mexico after all), but I could tell he was a little nervous and then I ran into a friend of mine who was crying and I broke down too. Very strange morning, but they both ended up having a great day!

Lydia started school on Wednesday. She walked straight in like she'd done it a million times. Doesn't she look adorable in the school uniform?
