Here we are…it seems unbelievable, but today is the first day of school! I don’t have very much time to write my blog today, because there’s all of this extra stuff to do this morning. There are new clothes, new backpacks, new lunchboxes, perfect hair styling, and lots of lots of pictures to take! Yep…plenty of excitement in the air as we got a taste of the new classrooms yesterday when we dropped off school supplies and met the teachers.
My son is entering 1st grade, and my daughter is in 3rd grade! It seems like barely a blink of the eye since we were meeting their teachers in preschool, and I can’t believe how established we are at their elementary school. Yesterday, I ran into a child who I’ve taught music to all through preschool. He was meeting his kindergarten teacher, and when he saw me, he threw his arms around me and was beaming with pride. Visions of my own children swept through my mind on that 1st day of kindergarten. As a Mom…there’s nothing like it.
So, I must get going to get it all done, but consider this a “to be continued” blog today. I will update this page with photos from the “first day” later this afternoon, so please check back to share in our exciting morning with us.
For now, I’ll leave you with my song of the day, which is one of my school favorites. ”ABC,” by the Jackson 5 is just so much fun, and this video is just awesome. Click HERE to watch Michael Jackson and his brothers on American Bandstand with Dick Clark performing this song for the first time on air. It is classic video footage for an excellent song. Now…I really must get going….
Until later, my friends……TO BE CONTINUED…….
