Well, today was the first day of school for my little babes. Mila started 4th grade at Kershaw Intermediate and Tallis is in Miss Joy's 1st grade class. (Maybe it's Miss Jill? I can never keep them straight.) I rode my bike over with Tal to introduce him and get him settled . . . Devan took Mila and then met me at Central. Moms and kids were everywhere. I love the first day of school.
I remember the first day of second grade right after we moved to Idaho. I wore blue and white polkadot polyester pants--bellbottoms, of course--and a Hollie Hobbie shirt. I dropped my schoolbox, which was dark blue with a space scene on it, and marbles and erasers went everywhere. Mrs. Bills was my teacher. I was late, and they had to move a new desk in for me. I was very solemn.
What are your memories of starting school?

yipee! The start of school (let's see if I say that next week when Weston goes off to Kindergarten...)
I don't have memories of first days of school, but I remember Miss Jill (she was my teacher) and that I was very shy. I remember testing for Kinder and not being able to walk across a beam very well. I dont' know if this was when I was testing but I remember not knowing how the G on giraffe was pronounced (hard or soft). I think I know now...
I don't really remember first days of school, but I have a few memories that stand out, like wetting my pants in preschool, getting soap in my eyes in first grade and running amok screaming in pain, the first time I got glasses, and playing foursquare at middle school. I hope Ethan and Noah have some better memories . . .
