School started last week for both boys and while we are all still getting used to our new routines, both boys seem to be liking school so far.
Ryan
I am the mother of a second grader!
I don't know how it happened - Time has just flown by and I feel like it was just yesterday that Ryan was starting pre-k. On September 9th, Ryan started 2nd grade. This is Ryan's 4th year at PS 40 so he knows so many kids in his grade - while all of his best friends from last year are in other classes, Ryan already knew a bunch of his new classmates from the park and two of them even live in our building.
I think this year is going to be a really important one for Ryan and I am hopeful that he will work hard and learn a lot. His teacher is Ms. Cox and Ms. Trish is the assistant teacher and they seem great so far. Ryan was very excited that he got a top hook for his backpack, the school courtyard has been reopened for recess after lunch, and that Fridays are still "pizza day" at school.

Dylan
I can't believe the time has come for Dylan to start school - September 11th marked Dylan's first day of full time pre-school. Doesn't he look so clean, handsome and innocent?

Dylan will be attending Sleepy Hollow Pre-School, a one class pre-k located inside a local high school. The head teacher is Ms. Aster who is as sweet as can be and she is assisted by high school students who are hoping to become teachers.

Dylan and Ms. Aster
The first 2 days, Dylan only went for an hour and a half but now he goes 9-1:30 everyday! He has a little cubby in his room for his backpack and lunch box, must sign himself in everyday, and has 15 new friends to learn with.
Here is Dylan's cubby (he had a fit that his school supplies were on his lunch box shelf)

Unfortunately after the third day, Dylan told us that he does not like one boy in the class because the boy got him in trouble by making pig noises at Dylan. When I asked Dylan why he got in trouble, he decided he didn't want to talk about it more so I suspect Dylan is not entirely innocent. He likes everyone else though, especially the "girl with the pink lunch box". I will have to find out who that is.
I hope that this is a great school year for both boys filled with new friends, lots of learning and happy memories
