FDOS

Day 1: Both of aforementioned goals accomplished! I was up at 6:15, saw E off on his 'last first day' (geesh, Mom, get over it), then did a yoga DVD (featuring, by the way, a very scantily clad young man on the beach; not a bad way to start the day). L was so excited about the FDOS that he was up at 7 am wondering how long until the bus came.

This line of questioning continued at about 2 minute intervals until about 8:30, when we actually left to walk down to the bus. Goodness, that kid can be a nag.

Everyone got off for FDOS school on time, and well-equipped. And I didn't even have any fleeting moments of sadness/mourning/wistfulness/longing for another baby when the school bus picked them up, as I have in prior years. This is an old routine by now; they even have the same bus driver, who btw, was E's bus driver as well when he was in 5th grade seven years ago. I sure hope they get off the bus this afternoon as jazzed as they were this morning. :)

Update to follow.

ah, I hope the FDOS was fun! I think mine will be a nag as well ..... 9 days left before we go.

Oh, and the Pachebel Cannon - yeah, we had it, but it was a neat spin on it - violins and flute - no piano - we had everyone ask what the tune was, guess it wasn't *that* recognizable, and only while we walked in - "When Irish Eyes Are Smiling" was the ring song, and our recessional was a John Denver tune. Kind of neat, if I'd say so. but yeah, definitely over chosen these days.
