Will and Maddie headed off to 4th grade Tuesday morning. They were both awake bright and early (5:00 am to be exact) to prepare themselves for the big day.I don't think the kids have ever been more anxious to start school than they were this year. In fact, on Monday afternoon, Will had showered and was in his pajamas by 5:30 pm with plans to go to bed by 6:30. And Maddie wasn't far behind. They wanted the morning "to come faster."
I wasn't sure what to do! What happened to my little night-owls who have begged to stay up and play X-Box until all hours of the night for the past month? I actually said "No- you guys have to stay up a little later."
Am I crazy? Are they crazy?
The day went really well for both of them. They love their teachers. They love their friends. They love their new 7-pocket file folder organization system (yes-they take after me...) and they already have tons of stories about their new "really, really mean" bus driver.
Well, I guess 4th graders need a little drama here and there...
