Back to School

I love this time of year. New pencils and paper. Lunch boxes. Establishing a bedtime again. Ahhh....the joys of routine.

Last night I had my back to school BBQ. We do this every year. All of my preschool families come over to meet each other, get familiar with my little classroom, and just have fun. It is always so stressful to plan as I feel everything has to be perfect. But then they come, and I have so much fun. This year, I have such a great group of people. They are all so different, from different places, doing different work. I have a lawyer, a doctor, a professional football player, a family that lives on a boat, a contractor, and list goes on. Opening the preschool out of my home was one of the best things I have ever done. Hopefully people feel a spirit of warmth and love when they are in my home. The children become such a big part of my life and I love them all. I am truly blessed to have a job I love and never takes me away from home or my own little kiddos. Beckett will be joining the class this year. I am so anxious to see how he does.

Courtney and Eleri start school next week. We have all their school supplies, new clothes, backpacks, the works. We are ready.

I LOVE THIS TIME OF YEAR!!

Wow, I didn't know you ran a preschool from your home...how long have you been doing that? It sounds wonderful (how do I get on the list?) :)

Leila-
Roston still talks about you and pre-school all the time. He LOVED it and you! Kindergarten has been an adjustment for him, but he's now enjoying it. Glad to hear all is well.
