Moving on...
Well, I found out today that God has new plans for me this year. There was lower than expected enrollment for second grade which has resulted in a surplus of teachers at my school. On the other hand, some schools in our district have had more than expected enrollment. The result is that Julian and I will be changing schools after a short 2 weeks. My principal told me today at 2:00 and tomorrow at 2:00 my students will find out. Friday morning they'll make the move to their new classrooms. I'll have till the beginning of next week to pack and move all my "junk" and set up at my new school. I'm hoping that I won't get my new students till Wednesday. In addition to being at a new school, I'll be teaching a new grade...Kindergarten. Big changes coming our way. I'm very sad to say good-bye to those who so graciously guided me through my first year teaching. At the same time I'm excited about this new journey I get to take.

He did it!!
Yeah! We made it through the first day with great success. Lucky for me, my mom came over and spent the night last night. Also Mic went in late so he could be there with Julian when it was time to take the students in to the classroom. So 3 vs. 2 helped make it far from a rushed morning with the extra hands to help. Thank you mommy and Mic... We all woke up happy and had time to spare as we went through the day. Well I say that and I barely made it to daycare before they closed to pick up Tate, poor little guy. Today flew by. This may be TMI but after arriving at school at 7:30 I didn't realize I hadn't gone to the rest room again till 4:00 this afternoon.
So back to sweet Julian, he did really well. I was hoping to have seen him at some point during the day and be able to give him a little smile or something. All I got was to see the back of his head as he was leaving the cafeteria and my class was entering. Maybe tomorrow I'll catch him. He loved his teacher and enjoyed playing with his new friends. Here are some pictures from this morning.
Oh yes, I can't forget my favorite part. This evening when we were finishing up dinner, Julian went around to each of us and kissed the center of our hands. Then he had us put it to our cheek and told us that any time we missed him while he was at school we could put our hand to our cheek and he'd be with us. So sweet...they read The Kissing Hand today at school.
Daddy has been teaching Tate how to make silly faces.
Tate's teachers LOVE to make hats for their little kiddo's. I always love picking him up and seeing him come out with one on. Last week they were astronauts and today they were "Busy Bees". He came home singing a song that I couldn't understand so I'll have to be sure to ask the ladies tomorrow.

Now for the tricky part. What am I going to do with out mom here tomorrow since Mic leaves for work by 5:30? It's a whole new ball game!

Busy Teacher
I'm sure that I'm about to drop off the face of the earth and do anything but blog in the evening (though it is something I've come to really enjoy). Give me time and I'll come back to it. Since school starts tomorrow (it's already here!), I'm sure our home will be a very busy place and blogging will be far from the top of the list.
Julian has been great the last 2 weeks that we've been busy getting my room ready. He got a little break a few days last week while I went to district meetings & training. The little trooper put in many hours watching me attempt to get my classroom organized and ready for my new batch of kiddo's. We have company coming to spend the night and will have a full crew in tow for the big first day of school drop off. I'll be sure to have my camera so you won't have to just read about it. My room is ready, my lessons are done, what am I forgetting. Julian's supplies are bought, his outfit is picked out, and he's excited about his teacher. Tate is fully adjusted to his joyful greeting personality at school. Michael...everything's the same.
I'll let you know how it all goes on Monday!
