Grace started second grade two weeks ago. Everything is going fine so far. She likes her teacher (Mrs. Valentine) and has lots of friends.

Jake had preschool orientation last week (where he was excited to get a cupcake) and his first drop off day yesterday. He did great. He was excited about going to preschool, especially since everyone he knows in the neighborhood goes to school. He also got a new backpack, with cars and trucks on it of course! He was a little apprehensive for me to leave him, but there were no tears. When I picked him up he seemed happy, although he was disappointed that you don't watch cartoons in preschool (which is all he does at the gym tot room). His first words to me were: "the teacher said I have to watch cartoons at home." As soon as we got home he demanded a cartoon because "the teacher said." How could I refuse that?
