Two Goods and a Bummer- First day of School

Today was the first day of school for Tay (2nd) and Robbie (Kinder)

 Second Grade!

All dressed up, hair curled,

and feeling READY for a new year!

Kindergarten!! (which is also called Grade 0)

Grateful Dad could be there for the big send-off

Last year I got in the habit of asking Taylor
to report on her school day by giving me
"Two Goods and a Bummer"

As I picked up Robbie from his first day of Kindergarten

I asked him to share with me "Two Goods and a Bummer"

and following this photo you'll find his response, verbatim!

"Well, Mom, first I don't even HAVE a bummer!

And... two goods...hmm...

One good is that I made a new friend,

but I can't remember his name,

and the other good is...

RECESS! 

It was fun cuz I've NEVER had a recess!"

He also reported that they got to visit the school library,

had a total of 5 recesses (!) and he didn't eat all his lunch.

Taylor's report was great too. (Capitalized words show her emphasis)

"The bummer is that TWO of the kids [insert their names here]

that were supposed to be in our class aren't gonna be.

One of them DIDN'T come and the OTHER one

moved to a different town.

My good was... I have GREAT classmates.

Also my good was my teacher is SO nice,

and has a REALLY good plan for EVERY day.

Like she MADE a schedule and we do LOTS of stuff."

She then reported on which days of the week she'll have PE,

who she got to see from last year's class,

and how much she loves being back at school.

And, just bonus, cuz we love him,

Jacob will start preschool in a few weeks,
but he got a photo too!

Jacob got to have a lunch date with Mom and Dad,

and spent the rest of his day with two friends at daycare at our church.

He said it was a pretty good day!

All in all,

truly one for the books!
