What inevitably comes with the end of summer is the beginning of fall, which along with the dreaded cooler temps also means it's time to shop for a new backpack and lunchbox and get ready for the school year! Isabelle was much more excited than her Mom and Dad were to see the summer close out. She was looking forward to the excitement of meeting back up with her friends and getting to see her new teacher, as well as experiencing a full day of school for the first time! Grade 1 seemed so far off back when she was born (even when Oliver was born!), but here she was, taller and more grown up and shuffling off to another adventurous year at school. She was most excited that her Mom, Dad and brother were going to walk her to her first day, which included a stop at Starbucks for a yogourt parfait snack en route! She was very shy to meet Madame Nadine, her new professor, but quickly bounded into school, happy as can be. Of course we know that days 2, 3 and beyond will not be met with nearly as much enthusiasm but for now it was great to see her so excited, even if it hurt us a little inside to watch her go. We still had Oliver and his first day to contend with! A little bit more familiarity for him as headed back into daycare, but only part-time this week as Mom will be able to pick him early each day. Slow transitions are always easier, and with a new teacher for Oliver too we are sure it will help him to know Mommy isn't far from coming. It promises to be a great year for both of them and we can't wait to hear all the new things they learn each and every day, and to hear Isabelle speak more and more French!
All prepped and ready to go!
