First Day of School 2012

Fletcher started school on Tuesday and Luke started on Wednesday.  They are both together at a new school.  (We moved over the summer which deserves its own blog post).

Fletcher said the first day was "awesome."   Luke said it was "good."

I told them beforehand that I would ask both of them a question when they got in the car at the end of the day.

"What color are your teacher's eyes?"

We are working on getting both of them to look an adult in the eyes when they are talking to them.  It is a sign of respect (as opposed to staring at the ground and mumbling).  It is also a confidence builder for them.

For the record - Mrs. H has hazel eyes and Mrs. B has brown.

Next up, Fletcher has to find out the eye color of his Latin teacher, his music teacher, his art teacher and his PE coach.

Speaking of coach, both of the boys will be playing soccer with their school through the YMCA.  Should be very interesting for so many reasons. Have I mentioned that I know nothing about soccer.  Well, except for the black and white ball and the goal part.  I guess we will all learn together.

Before I show the obligatory first day of school photos, I do have to share Luke's lunchtime prayer on Monday.  Luke was at home with me while Fletcher was at school.

"Dear God, please make Fletcher not be mean to his new friends today at school and that he won't bite anyone. Oh, and help his lunch taste good. Amen."

Ok so Fletcher looks about 16 in this picture.  

Luke was a little nervous.  But doesn't he look adorable in his uniform?
