Evan's First Day of School

First day of school 2010- 3 years, 8 months

Yesterday, Monday, August 23 was Evan's first day of school this year. He is in the 3 year old, 3 day class this year with Mrs. Tompkins and Mrs. Brasse.  He wasn't super excited to go to school with new teachers, since he loved Mrs. Jones and Mrs. O'Leary last year. He was a little sad when we dropped him off yesterday, but there were no tears! YEAH!! And when we picked him up he told us that his new teachers are even more fun than his old ones. Obviously it didn't take him too long to adjust to the new year! There are 16 kids in his class and I think just 5 boys. Last year it was about 50/50 and only at the end of the year were there 14 kids in the class, for most of the year there were just 10 kids. The other change is that this is a 3 year old class, meaning, you have to be 3 by August 31. There are many kids in his class who just turned 3 and Evan is getting close to 4 (or 10, some days I forget). He is one of the oldest in his class, but that's how it will be from here on out with a December birthday.  Last year he was in a 2 1/2 year old class so it was birthdays from September 1 to February 28, putting Evan somewhere in the middle.

Evan's friends Bowen and Stevie are in his class this year, but his other friends from last year are in the other 2 classes. Although we are both sad that his other friends aren't in his class, I am thrilled with his teachers and know that this will be a good opportunity for Evan to make some new friends as well. I'm also pretty excited he is in school 3 days a week now. Whatever will I do with myself??? Oh yeah, work and take care of Claire :)!

Evan insisted on taking a picture with his sister on his 1st day, too sweet!
