First Day of First Grade

Hmmm...very much time has elapsed in the blogosphere. Must catch up, later. But anyway...

Helen started first grade on Monday. We got the teacher we were supposed to and are very happy about that. She is very nice and flexible based on everything I've heard and my limited experience so far. She is liking the class even though her closest friends are not in it. Not all bad from my point of view, but that's another story. She was extremely (unnaturally?) excited to see a real science textbook in her desk. She is looking forward to art, PE and music.

Oh- and for this year's stab to mama's heart- She has decided to be dropped off in the carline in the morning and walk in by herself- sniff, sniff.

Dear Helen, Please stop growing up! Love, Mama
