School starting

It's hard to belice that summer is over. As a kid it went fast and even now it flew by. I am not ready for both girls to start school tomorrow. We went to an open house last night and Emily remember when we went last year to see Stephanie's classroom and Stephanie acted as though she never left. She loved seeing her old classroom and made herself right at home in her new classroom. Stephanie will have a full time aide with her at school and will have a shorten day as she wil stay for lunch and recess but come home for therapy in the afternoon. I was glad to hear that she will have the same aide as she had last year but then will also have another aide whom they didn't know as of yesterday. Then I also found out that the OT she had for the last 3 years left and they don't know who the new OT is yet. I had so much to tell the OT about the summer so I was sad to hear she left. I hope she gets another good OT that really gets her.
Emily is very excited to start and tell her teachers all she knows. She is so proud of herself that she knows how to rhyme (she knows a litle) and is starting to add. She really wants to read and loves to color and draw pictures. I hope she has lots of fun and makes some friends. She is happy to be going with Stephanie and will be right across the hall from her. She has already told me that she won't cry but that she will miss me. I know Matthew will miss both girls while they are gone. He is really starting to play with them and interact with them lately. They all grow up too quickly.
