One day down!


and luckily both have agreed to go back to school tomorrow! Molly described it as "really fun" and Brenna as "perfect" so I'll take that as a good sign.

Of course the day started with a hiccup when Molly's alarm clock rang (must have one like big sister of course) at 7am and she marched into my room announcing, "My alarm just went off but the problem is - it's still night outside!" It was overcast so it seemed darker than it was. Clearly she is not our morning girl! Everyone was out the door on time (to my surprise - wish me luck tomorrow!) and up to the quad to drop off Brenna. After some chitchat with other parents and the necessary photos, Miss Molly became fussy at the attention Brenna was hogging and insisted that she be taken to her class right away. Bossy pants that she is.

Brenna has 3 classroom teachers this year. Every class (PK-4) usually has a lead and a secondary teacher. Her secondary teacher will also be doing some computer classes so one of the nuns will be a third teacher. I like them all. She also has one new girl - she was in their PreK (Brenna and many others weren't though) and moved to Alaska when her dad was deployed to Iraq for 2 yrs. She'll have some good stories. My Uncle Michael just moved to Eagle River, AK so Brenna said she talked to Isabella and told her that.

Molly told us at dinner that they sang some songs today. "One went, 'Good morning! Good morning! . . . ummm. I don't know the rest, but you get the drift'." Let's hope she retains a bit more as the year goes on!

So now it's just me, myself and I each day. Wow! Of course tomorrow I have a Girl Scout meeting after dropoff and then was asked to help in the school library computerizing some new books. Some things never change!
