FINALLY, after a two day delay (thanks to Hurricane Irene), the kids started school today.
Here are our 4th Grader and Kindergartner waiting for the school bus.
How wonderful to finally have them both at the same school!
Our Big Girl!
Our Big Boy!
The Kindergarten parents were allowed to visit the classroom for a while. Of course there were lots of children very curious about Tru's "robot" leg. Tru's teacher allowed me to give all of the children a brief kid-friendly talk about Tru's leg, why he has it and why they should not touch it.
(We would not want them to have their hands on his leg and then get their fingers pinched if Tru were to bend his knee.) (Ouch! We know this from personal experience!!)
Tru was just fine when Mom left and wanted to know why many of the other children were crying.
I could not resist sneaking by Lin-Ley's classroom too. She was much too busy to mind my visit. She was so excited to finally get back to school!
A special Thank You to Auntie Gabby. I forgot my camera this morning and my only other option, so that I would not miss the First Day of School photos, was to use the camera on my phone. I do not have a "fancy" phone and had no way to get the photos from my phone so I texted them to Gabby, she emailed them to me, I downloaded them to my computer and then uploaded them to the post. Thanks Gabby! You saved the day!
