Corban's first day

After MUCH prayer and discussion we decided that because of all the changes that have taken place, it was best for Corban to be in school. Our home school year was off to a great start, but with the addition of a newborn and this pregnancy, we decided that it was better for Corban to be in school. This was not an easy decision! I love homeschooling and totally believe in all the benefits. I also know that with a newborn at home and a 2 1/2 year old, doing school and doing it well would be difficult! So just about three weeks ago Corban had his first day of school!!! It has definitely been a transition for us, but Corban LOVES school. We had a few hard mornings at first, but most days he wakes up excited about his day.
His teacher is just about the sweetest thing you would ever meet. She is a total answer to our prayers. She LOVES Corban and is taking such good care of him. I have been so happy with the entire school too! The first day of school, the principal met us in Corban's classroom and introduced himself to us! A few days ago, Corban's assistant teacher asked me for a copy of his soccer schedule just so she could come watch one of his games. I'm telling you, I have been blown away by everyone's kindness.
I love that the school is literally at the end of our street too. We walk him to school in the mornings and then, because of nap schedules, he rides the bus home in the afternoon. I have to say that riding the bus has probably been the most exciting part of starting school for Corban- (even though it is only about a two minute bus ride!)

Here's Corban on his first day of school... ALL SMILES!
