We have two kids in school. TWO! How is that possible!? Jessica started second grade this year and Chandler is in VPK (pre-Kindergarten). School is such a good thing for Jessica. She loves the routine, her friends, and staying busy learning new things. She has the same teacher as last year, which has been great. Mrs. Jacobson is wonderful at letting the kids act their age, while giving them lots of great opportunities for growth and independence. We'll be sad to have to move on next year.
Chandler also loves school. While I wouldn't call him "shy", Chandler is definitely reserved and isn't one to initiate social situations. This has been a great opportunity for him to get a little bit out of his comfort zone. I have been so happy to see him go up to new friends after school, with a smile on his face, asking if they want to play. He still has some progress to make (like how he should have said something when the kid kept blowing a party horn in his face at a birthday party and he just sat there looking nervous. Ugh. It's so hard to let your kids handle things themselves sometimes), but he is blossoming into a more confident version of himself.
