First day of school!

Drew started at his new Montessori school on Monday! He was *very* excited to wear his backpack, though it does tend to throw him off balance a little. =) We got a lot of "cool!"s when we were walking through the school to his classroom, but when we got to the door he got a little scared. His teachers led him into the room... still scared... then he saw the gerbil and quickly forgot about Mommy & Daddy and life was all good once again! We've all had a bit of adjusting - a new schedule, packing lunchboxes, new philosophies, etc, but we're all working on it together. Drew unfortunately didn't share the climber very well on his first day and bit one of his new friends (sigh - doesn't he know this school is all about peace and love!!), but hopefully that will not be an issue and we will be working on sharing and being kind to friends (no one was bit today thank goodness). We'll keep you posted!

Drew and Daddy
A little blurry, but he is so happy to be wearing that backpack! What a big boy *sniff, sniff* Besides going to school, it's also been a big week because Drew's cousins Nicholas & MiMi are in town staying with Meema as Sammy and Elena make the move from Boston to Richmond. We took another trip to Lazy 5 Ranch with them, and the weekend before we took a wonderful trip to Tweetsie Railroad. I'll try to get some of those pictures up soon.
