New Beginnings

Yesterday was a big day!  Both Cohen and Henry started at new schools.  We have been looking forward to this day since we sadly left Myers Park Baptist in Charlotte.  Cohen has been missing school so badly.  I have caught him staring at his old class picture about once a week.  He asks me, "Do my friends miss me?"  It would break my heart every time he asked because I know he misses his friends in Charlotte...and they miss him too.  So, I could hardly contain my excitement for Cohen as we walked into his new school, Community Presbyterian Church.

Here are my boys outside the school.  Cohen walked into his classroom like an old pro!  He had a fantastic day and is excited about going back tomorrow!

As for my little Henry, I hadn't planned to send him to preschool until next fall.  Then I thought about it more and realized that this guy has been ready to go to school for a while.  Earlier this year, he would cry every time we dropped Cohen off at school - he never wanted to leave!  So, as soon as we moved to Jacksonville, I quickly called Beaches United Methodist, and I snatched the last spot in the Older One's class for Henry. 

My little boy is growing-up so quickly.  I know he was excited walking into his school and his classroom yesterday.  As we waited for the teachers to open the classroom door, Henry went right up, knocked on the door and jiggled the doorknob.  He was the first one to walk right in and not blink an eye as he turned around to say goodbye.  So proud.

We are looking forward to a memorable school year, filled with fun and new friends!
