Today was the first day of school. It is such an exciting and exhausting day, and I love every minute of it. The kids always come in so excited to be upstairs with the big kids. Third grade really is a big deal. The kids mature and grow so much during the year. The first day is always such an eye opener for me. Because the kids grow up so much in 9 short months, I forget what they are like on the first day. There is always a little bit of panic when I think to myself, "How am I going to get them to where they need to be?? They're so young!" But then, I remember that I was able to do it the year before, and that before too long, they will have changed so much. They go from seeming so young and dependent, to quickly becoming responsible and owning their actions.
I have such a sweet bunch of kids this year, and I can't wait to get to know all of their personalities. What a fun year ahead of me. I can't believe this is already my fifth year!
