Now that Alden is in first grade, our back to school deployment is a two-stage affair. Today, the boys head back to their beloved Friendship Montessori School for their respective classroom open houses.
Kato will be in the “primary” classroom. To celebrate this exciting fact, Robbi wrote his name in bold, black marker on the orange pocket folder that was a fixture of his school supply list.
If you’re not in the know, Kato loves orange. But he loves rockets even more.
August will be in “pre-primary.” They require certain skills like the ability to communicate verbally with other human beings before one is allowed to graduate to primary.
If you don’t know, August loves red. He loves Mickey even more.
Wednesday is the last day of child-laden summer. Thursday, for the first time since Alden was born, every child in the house will be at school full time.
I could weep for joy. Instead, I will make every effort to enjoy these waning hours with my two small folder enthusiasts.
Happy Tuesday. Back to it.
