First Grade

This may shock some of you, but Tomato is in first grade

at the local elementary school.  She was asking and asking

to go to school last spring and we decided that early elementary school

is the time to do that, rather than having us tell her no

and then ending up putting her in when things are

crazy and a drastic change from our homeschooling life. 

This is the first day of first grade in September.

And here is a comparison picture from her first day of kindergarten,

which was in late March.

She kinda loves that backpack...it's one of her favorite things about going to school,

I think.  She wanted a new one, but I said no way, since she only used

it for a few months last spring.

 

And in other news, our new computer has arrived & I'm hoping to be a more prolific

blog writer once again.  I don't know how much to do catching up,

or if I just want to start from here so it's not too overwhelming for me.

It'll probably be a combo.

I'm going to post at least once a week, though.

It's on the schedule and I'm excited.

It's nice to be back.
