I've decided that the first day of school feels a lot more like a new year than January 1.
The Actor is starting his junior year of high school, while The Flute Player is heading off to eighth grade. Time flies.
Actually, The Actor has to take an extra class this year to make up for the fact that the magnet program doesn't quite leave room for all the mandated classes. So he has to be at school an hour early. That's going to pinch our mornings just a bit, and, since he can't ride the shuttle bus, My Sweet Baboo will drop him off at the magnet school as he goes to work...it's fortunately not that far out of his way, for all that it is on the other end of town.
The Flute Player has one more year to be close enough to school to walk/ride her bike. So, for the last time, we observed the 'first day' tradition and I rode my bike w/her.
It's gone by awfully fast....
They look so great and happy. You're such a great mom.
