Emily's primary teacher told me that she asked the kids if they are excited to start school. Emily said No so they probed to ask isn't there anything she is excited for? She said nothing over and over until her teacher gave up. Ironically around the house she's been obsessed with getting her back to school clothes, school supplies, locker decorations in order and talking constantly about all her plans and hopes with friends this year. Seems to me there's a little excitement going on even if she won't admit it.
If anyone appears pretty apathetic about school starting it is Jane. She needed absolutely nothing for school and I think she realized it as well but did ask me to buy her a new pair of shoes and one new outfit to wear on the first day of school. She was pretty pleased when I told her that when Aaron met his teacher for the first time, she taught 3rd grade last year Jane had her for a subject rotation, found out that Aaron was Jane's sister got really excited saying Jane was such a good student and how she is so pleased her younger brother is in her class this year. Way to go Jane leaving an outstanding reputation for the family!!!!
Aww, cutie Spencer! Reminds me of when my you get ones went wandering through the quiet house asking, "where kids?" over and over each day.
