Today, our two older kids started a new adventure. They started 2nd grade at Sacred Heart Catholic School. No, we are not Catholic, however, we have always heard great things about the curriculum and so we made the decision to send our kids.
The other change that is happening this school year is that Ashton will take 2nd grade again. That was a huge decision, but one that we had to make as his parents. He is a very good student and very mature, but we (me-the mom especially) have always felt that he had to try a little harder than he should have. This means that he and Ariah will be in the very same class. They have always been best friends, so this is not a problem. They are only 11 months apart in age, so they already have many of the same friends. The timing was perfect since we were switching to a brand new school.
The first day of school has always been a really exciting day at our house. I do a video interview with each of the kids, which Ashton has decided that he has outgrown. (Nothing a little Bon-Bon bribery didn't take care of!) The videos are so much fun because I like to go back to see if what they want to "be" when they are older has changed from year-to-year or if they have paid attention to who their new teacher will be! Ariah generally has her mind set and knows what is going to happen and Ashton just flies by the seat of his pants. I love the differences in them!
Keegan starts school in one more week. He will also be going to Sacred Heart. I will probably post his first interview. It is sure to be full of belly laughs!
