Welcome to Gauthier Land: School Days

This week the boys started Senior Kindergarden. It was so nice to be able to drop them off at the school yard the first day. It was great to see how happy they were to actually get to school and it was so nice to see how much fun they were already having with their classmates in the school yard before the bell even rang. We are so lucky that our boys love school....they love everything about it. They still proclaim that their favorite part of the school day is recess but hey who doesn't love running and playing with their friends. This year they talked all about how they are "big" kids now because they have lockers, they eat their lunch in the gym with the other big kids and they get to use the "big" kids washroom. They talk excitedly every night about all the work stations they did (today mathew brought me home a craft he made me at the craft station and Zachary said he had fun painting). We talk about the books the teacher reads them and their favorites parts of the day. They go to a different daycare this year so their bus ride is only about 15 minutes now in comparison to the 45-60 minutes it was last year. Today it was so cute to see them board the bus....both the boys and their little friend all sit in one seat.....it makes me smile to think they are still so tiny that they fit three in a seat comfortably. I hope the huge smiles and enthusiam continues because we try to always talk about how important the things we learn at school are.

Bags are all packed and ready to go!
