Boys in School

Well our big boys are both in school. Everett has begun first grade and Hampton is in preschool! First, I'll start with Everett.

I realize I have one picture of Everett and a ton of Hampton. Everett started last Wednesday and sometimes hype just makes him more nervous, whereas Hampton eats up that kind of attention. Everett was a bit nervous (which he told me) but did very well. His teacher's name is Mrs. Fagen and he had a few friends he knew in his class. Everett reported that first grade is a bit harder and they don't get to play as much, but he is happy. Also I have noticed the increase in difficulty in the homework, but he is doing great!

Now on to Hampton. Hampton began 4's preschool at Arden Presbyterian Preschool last Monday. His teacher's name is Mrs. Duncan. And we love her! So basically, Hampton was made for preschool. He goes Monday-Friday from 9:00-12:30. He loves it. I think he really needed and is thriving from the structure of it all. He has made some friends, Justin and Kayla are who he mentions most. The second day he came home and was able to tell us the five rules of the classroom. Every afternoon when he gets in the car he reports the date. Yesterday he was the line leader and loved it. And he has reported there are seven letters in his name. We are thrilled.
