Today was our first day back at LCDS, a wonderful school that the Moo has attended for the past three years. This was an especially banner day as the Bean started at LCDS in PreK this year, with Molly's former teacher whom we LOVE. Mom very crazily has promised to be a room mom again this year, as though starting a new job was not stressful enough. However, Mom did it when the Moo was in PreK, and if nothing else I strive for parity in all things with the girls. Not sure the Moo is going to see it that way when she sees me spending all kinds of time in the Bean's room, but we will cross that bridge when we get to it. The Moo is excited about being a first grader and anxious to be graded on a traditional A-F scale, for some reason. She says she wants to get straight As, like iCarly. The Bean, apparently, just wants to tell everyone about Fidel: she said she told the librarian, her teachers, and all her new classmates about her dog and that was pretty much the sum total of what I got out of her today.
The other very exciting thing about today was that the school has moved to their new campus, which is huge and state of the art. They did an amazing job putting the new school together, and it is going to be a wonderful place for the girls to go to school--assuming that the cost of the new school does not drive tuition up to the point where we get priced out. Mom is keeping her fingers crossed that the 10 percent increases we have seen over the past two years are over and done with. In the meantime, I am thrilled to have them both at the same great school and so excited to be starting another year at LCDS!!
The girls look fantastic, Ginni! It reminds me of the many "first days of school" you and your sisters had. They look so grown up for such little one-a's. I'm glad they had a good first day. It makes all the difference. Thanks for sharing. - dad
