Back to School!

I felt like a prisoner who had been freed from captivity when both my little birds were safely in their schools yesterday. Anyone else? I guess that answers my previous post about parents waiting for school to start again, doesn't it?

For some reason, school seems much more managable than I remembered it. We're still getting little reminders about this special event or that parent activity or the ever-changing rotation of "specials", but it all seems less daunting than before. Maybe it's because I'm a semester-seasoned mom now.

Yesterday, my kindergartener told me that he has a "School brain" and a "life brain." When he's in life, he doesn't remember anything at all from school. This was his way of explaining why he never plans to give me the juicy details on his day in the classroom. I'd better be happy to take what I can get. Do any of you other kindergarten parents get this same kind of communication string? Or are your kids happily sharing the details of their school day?
