First Day of Middle School! And Second First day of Kinder for Kaylee :)

I am such a nervous wreck this morning!!  This whole junior high thing is insane…I am just worried for my little boy, who isn’t little any more.  By now he is sitting in his second class already, but I really am hoping he got his locker opened and found his way around without getting teary.  He absolutely did NOT want me to walk him in, which I couldn’t have anyway because of Audrie needing to be dropped off at the carpool, so he is clearly WAY more independent than I was at that age.  I have a VERY vague recollection of that day, but  really it’s so fuzzy I don’t remember much (Cam, you remember way more than I do!).  Tyler has a lot of responsibility this year on top of the new Junior high, seven class schedule, because he has to pick up Kaylee from school MWF while I pick up the carpool with Audrie.  I hope it all works out ok.  Today of course is was raining when I dropped Kaylee off which means they may have a severe weather pickup this afternoon…which would make things a lot more complicated for Tyler, so we are praying it won’t rain/storm for pickup on the first day! (See attached pic of Tyler practicing opening his locker)

Kaylee has been going through some serious separation anxiety lately.  I don’t know if something happened at church a month or so ago, but she DOES  NOT want to go to sharing time or her primary class.  She is absolutely and sincerely petrified to go the class.  I don’t know if something happened with the teacher or what, but she does not want to go.  I sat with her yesterday and then left her in tears with the substitute teacher.  But when she found me in YW’s after church she seemed as happy and normal as could be, so hopefully it was a positive experience.  I have been concerned that dropping her off at Kinder was going to be an issue because of this.  She held it together pretty good, but you can see in the picture attached that she was just about to burst into tears, watery eyes, quivering lip and everything!  I don’t know what’s going on??  Anyway, I hope she has a fabulous day and realizes how smart she is especially compared to the new kindergarteners J

Sam is STILL sleeping.  She is not going to get used to this schedule very easily.  But I can really get some good stuff done today!  Audrie’s ipod has been missing for about a week now, so I need to clean and see if I can find it.
