Back to School

Whew! We are behind! School started for the Millet family at the beginning of August and for the most part, it's been a pretty smooth transition.

Our biggest change was that Benji started kindergarten this year. What a grown up little man!

Peter made the transition to 3rd grade in Mrs. Bennett's class - which we were so happy about since she goes to our church and specializes in STEM education. Peter could not have been happier - especially with two of his best friends, Carter and Nehemiah, in his class.

I have the cutest three little monkeys.

Peter waltzed off to class and we hung out with Benji until it was time to go inside. He is in Mrs. Larsen's class (the same teacher Peter had) and we LOVE her! To top it off, there are at least 8-10 kids in his class Benji already knew from either preschool or church. Here he is on the first day with his two besties, Daisy and Tyler. 

It's been a bit of rough transition for Benji, but we knew that going in. Up until school started, Benji was taking a nap everyday so with full day kindergarten, he often gets pretty wiped out afterwards. Which has led to a few scenes such as this.

But we are learning to keep him well-rested. Nora definitely misses her buddies every day - she still wanders around asking "Yere's Benji? Yere's Peter?"

 I found this cute little tea set for her and we spent a few days playing with nothing else. At least until all the pieces got broken!

I can't believe how grown-up these kids are getting. Benji has already lost two teeth - one while we were in Sweden and Grandpa had to ask the tooth fairy to come visit.
