Back to School

I know I am a month late posting this due to my camera problems, but Avery & Jackson went back to school on July 27th. Avery started 3rd grade and Jackson started 1st grade. Jackson was so excited to ride the bus and start first grade. When we got to the bus stop on the first day he excitedly said to all the kids at the bus stop, "I'm in first grade today!". It was cute. He is doing very well and reading so good. I cannot believe our little boy is in 1st grade. I never believed people when they said that your kids grow up so fast, but I do now. Where has the time gone? Avery is such a cute big sister to Jackson and has really taken him under her wing at school. The first week of school I was tucking her into bed and she was crying. I asked her what was wrong and she said "I miss Jackson during the day". I asked her if she missed him last year (he went to a different school than Avery last year), she said, "no" and kind of chuckled. She told me she just wants to make sure he is ok during the day and not being bullied. It was so cute to hear how much she cares. Sage is not in school yet, but really really wants to be. When we ask the kids how their day at school was each night, Sage has her own story about her day of school. She is now at daycare by herself, which she really has never experienced before. She misses her brother and sister during the day, and is so excited to see them each afternoon when she comes home.
