Back to School

First Day of School 2015

Kate is in 5th grade, Preston is in 2nd grade, Lindsey is in half day Kindergarten in the morning and Chelsea is in a co-op preschool with Mom's from our ward 3 days a week.

Preston's teacher is Mrs. Rogers. She is due to have a baby early next year so Preston will have a different teacher for a few months. Mrs. Rogers was a 1st grade teacher last year and had Preston in some of her rotations so she knew him. That made me feel better. 

Lindsey has Mrs. Kyser for Kindergarten. I've heard good things about her so I'm glad she got her.

Kate got Mrs. VanZeipel for 5th grade. According to other kids she wasn't one of the favorite teachers so Kate was really sad when she found out she had her. But after a week of school Kate likes her and is doing great. Phew. 

Waiting at the bus stop with the neighbor kids. I usually just send them out the door and they go wait up by the street, but this first morning I went up there with them.

Chelsea went to the dentist for her first time. I switched all the kids to a pediatric dentist near by because it was stressful driving them all the way over to Edmonds to Dr. Hopewell. (I switched Kyle to one closer to his work too, but I'm still going there.) She did good. She was a little fidgety, but she's 3. I usually don't take them to the dentist until 3 or 4 anyway. She's probably my youngest that has gone, but I took her because I noticed a cavity starting on one of her molars. Sure enough she had one, but it was tiny and the dentist could do it without numbing her. Yay. Glad to get that taken care of.

Chelsea climbs the staircase this way...what a monkey!
