Second Grade, Thatcher Elementary

Laex started school on August 20th.  He was pumped to be going back to Thatcher Elementary, we really love that little school!  Due to busing issues they called two days before school started and asked if I had a problem switching Laexin to Grace, I hate to be the 'problem parent' but I wasn't going to make Laexin leave all of his friends and the school he loves, especially two days before school started!  Luckily by the second week of school they had the buses figured out so it worked out fine.

He loves his new teacher Mrs. Despain - although when we went a couple of days before school started to drop off his school supplies and see his classroom he wasn't quite sure about taking a picture with her :)

And I get to be the Room Mom this year, wahoo!  I'm sure it will be lots of fun!!

He reminded me that we didn't get the first-day-of-school-pose picture, so we did it about a week late :)

So glad he gets to have the experience of going to Thatcher and that he loves school so much, what a good kid!

In the meantime it was quite the change for Loa to get used to not having him home-- we made koolaid play dough his first day back! She's such a creative soul!
