Big day today.
First day for Monkey Girl to go to 4th grade.
First day for Monkey in the Middle to start 1st grade.
Baby Monkey doesn’t actually start Pre-K for another week, but he was definitely caught up in the “First Day” excitement.
First day for me to go back to the classroom after a 2 year stint in a different position.
Monkey Girl got up at 5:45 and took a shower.
She took a shower before going to bed last night.
She rocks my world.
The boys were up and raring to go, as well.
So far, I can only report on my first day, which went well.
I loved being around kids again and am excited for all that I have planned for the year.
Or at least the part of the year I’ll be there.
I am absolutely chomping at the bit to see the monkeys.
I am sure their days were fantastic, but I missed them all day long and can’t wait to hug them and kiss them and cuddle them and hear all about it.
Okay, let’s be honest.
I’ll hear all about Monkey Girl’s day.
The boys will say their days were “fine” and that will be the end of that.
Can’t wait.
There is something so magical about the first day of school.
It holds such promise.
No one is a failure on the first day of school.
No one has disappointed anyone, and the possibilities for success are endless.
Everything is bright and new and exciting.
Especially these three.
Amy — I love your optimism and sincere enthusiam for life!! So glad that my little one gets to experience it.

I always love that point that no one is a failure on the first day of school–even the teachers!!!!! The concept that everyone can be successful is what drove me all those years in the classroom! Have a another great year!!!!!
