First Day of School

The kids started back at school on August 19th. Emily in 3rd grade, Caleb in 1st, and Elinor in TK which is basically like Pre-K. Emily and Caleb are going to the school down the street so are able to walk/bike/scooter (by themselves!!) every day. It is glorious to not have to fight traffic and search for parking.
Caleb chose his sporks shirt, which is great, but maybe not what I would have chosen if I had gotten to his dresser drawer first. :)
 Elinor is attending transitional kindergarten at a school about a mile away. Our neighborhood school is very crowded, so is not offering TK anymore. I was planning to keep her at home for another year until I found out about another family in the ward who is in the same situation as us, with kids at two schools. We have worked out a carpool, and that, combined with the older kids walking on their own, has made the two-school thing relatively painless. I will heave a sigh of relief once all three are at a single school next year though!
Elinor's school is a uniform school. Her uniform didn't get here in time for the first day, but here she is a couple of days later. Cute, right??
Those little T-strap shoes? They just kill me!
And this one that I have to add, fuzzy as it is. She insists on the knee socks every day. I love it.
School is good, the weather is good, and Jacob is relishing his few hours per day of being an only child!
