First Day of School

Aaron woke up this morning at 4:47 a.m.; ran into our room, and said he was going to start getting ready for school. Kate and I started to get out of bed, when Aaron looked at us and said, "you guys stay. I can do it myself." For the next 45 minutes, we lay awake, waiting for him to come back in the bedroom to ask for our help. He didn't, and when I got up at 5:30, Aaron had fixed himself cereal, combed his hair, gotten his clothes on, brushed his teeth, and was watching cartoons. By the time Kate woke up at 6:00, Aaron was counting down the minutes until we left. I wonder if this behavior will last, because I enjoyed it this morning.

My students are 10th graders. I can't really say more than that honestly. I had to take away a kid's cell phone today because he had received a text message in class. I took his phone, opened the message, and wrote the person back that "Nate can't talk right now, he's in school." Every year, you spend the first few days trying to adjust to the students. Several of them know me from older brothers or sisters. That surely would frighten them a little, right?

Kate's in her perfect element again with her class of Kindergarten kids. She came home with two crayon drawings of "i love you Mrs. Tyler" already. If I erase the "s", that would make Mr...and..hmm.. God bless..

I bet Aaron couldn't wait to get to school to tell his teacher and friends what a cool summer he had in Romania! What a little cutie pie you have.....I hope his excitement continues for many years. Hope you all have a fantastic year ahead with many blessings inbetween.
