Back to School

First day jitters were no where to be found at our house today! Haylie and Sydney were so excited to go back to school. Sydney is in officially in third grade but will be learning 4th and 5th grade material for some of her classes. It is hard to decide what to do with her...what is best? She is reading at a 6th or 7th grade reading level and a 4th grade math level and she just soaks up everything she learns. But the more she advances, the more she is separated from her peers. I can't even keep up anymore. But she loves it and she has a really great teacher that keeps her learning.

Haylie is in Kindergarten this year and is now in school full time. It has been so strange not having her home for part of the school day. She has a wonderful teacher as well and is already learning so much! I am so proud of my girls...and of Tui. He is so excited to go to school too. when we dropped the girls off at school the first day he asked where his teacher was and where his back pack was. Man they grow up fast. Tui will be doing a mom's school with me this year and possibly next...his birthday is the cut off day for school...so we will see how he does this year. He is a smart cookie like Sydney though...I bet he will be ready next year for preschool.
