Both boys went to their respective schools yesterday to meet their teachers and get oriented for the beginning of term on Tuesday.
Dylan was thrilled find that he is going to get the male teacher he'd been hoping for, and also that his best friend is going to be in his class again. He came home extremely happy! I can't believe he's going into 3rd Grade already. This year he has some exams for the first time which he is nervous about. Gareth met with his new teacher though and is very happy with him - thinks he will be great. I'm also pleased that our psycho neighbours kid isn't in Dylans class again as this means we won't have to have any dealings with her this year.
Harry starts Montessori next week and we went to meet his teacher too and introduce him to the classroom. Being typical Harry he ran from one thing to another loudly exclaiming and the teacher followed him attempting to teach him to be quiet (LOL). Also when he picked up a couple of plastic animals and started driving them into each other shouting CRASH she said 'They're not angry animals Harry, they're happy animals' (!!!!). I hope they don't suck the life out of him as he's fantastically happy and boistrous, but at the same time he could use some lessons in being quiet occasionally ;-) He liked it anyway.
Babysitter had her last day yesterday and what an enormous help she's been. I am definitely going to have her again for future school vacations.
Speaking of vacations - we're going to the UK, leaving here on Boxing Day for 2 wks, yay.
