This has been a year of change for the Stotts. (Could that be why this blog has been neglected for so long? Does anyone even stop by this site anymore???)
Abby and Daniel are both attending new schools this year. Abby entered middle school and Daniel entered public school as a first-grader (GOODBYE private tuition!!). One month or so in, and both are doing well!
Here are a few photos from their first day of school:
Abby rides the bus to school this year (for the first time). Her bus picks her up two hours before her elementary school even began!! We weren't quit certain how that was going to work out, but she's doing an amazing job preparing for the school day. Will and I are really impressed with her!
I walked Abby to the bus stop on her first day. We arrived a bit early, and she turned to me and said, "You aren't really going to wait here, are you?" Disappointed, I said my goodbyes, wished her well, and walked home.
We can't see the bus stop from our house, but that didn't stop me from standing at the window, watching for the bus to turn the corner with my camera ready...
Daniel was excited to start first grade. Will and I both took time off to take him to his new school. He has the same first grade teacher that Abby had -- (with such a small elementary school, he had a 50% chance of getting her).
Daniel was pretty excited for the day -- probably due in large part to his cool, new R2D2 backpack (and lunch bag).
It was a bit emotional seeing him standing there in line all by himself, but Will and I were confident he would have a great first day!
