Isaac is our BIG 1st Grader!


Isaac started school this week, and is now in 1st Grade. He has mixed feelings about the whole thing, as it is sad to see the summer end. He became quite fond of his freedom....and the Nintendo 64 Uncle Daniel gave him. He is sad to leave it all behind in the quest for further knowledge at school. He has told me what he DOES like and what he DOESN'T like.
Isaac Likes: Recess 3x's a day, his nice teacher Mrs. Mackay, lunch, that he has his "own desk" with his name on it, and friends.
Isaac doesn't like: Mosquitoes out on the playground, that school is longer than 1 hour, that now he "has to LEARN stuff".
I think he will acclimate, and as the teacher really gets into the curriculum he will become interested and excited about things. For a boy who is constantly asking me SO MANY QUESTIONS day in and day out (examples; How do airplanes get gas if they can't go to the gas station? Why does Daddy mow the grass and then it just gets tall again?, Why do I have blood under my skin?) you would think that he would be ecstatic about the fact that he gets to go to school and be TAUGHT so many new things. I'm sure as things move along, he will enjoy it more and more.

Isaac loves his Speed Racer backpack.

And of course Leah wanted to be in the picture when we dropped him off at school. This is what Leah looks like on a BAD HAIR morning before Mommy can remedy the situation. As much as she will argue with me on it, she just has to accept that she has to be 4 before she can start Pre-K. So another year at home with Mommy is what she gets!
