August 24, 2009--The first day of school! Joey & Alex are in the 7th grade and Ben is in the 6th grade all at Griffin Middle School. I wasn't too worried about Joey & Alex last year when they started middle school, but this year I was worried about Ben. I don't know why because he is such a confident and incredibly smart boy, but I guess because he is my baby. The twins always have each other, so I worry more about Ben because he's all by himself. He did great like we knew he would. He did go out on the wrong side of the building when school was out, but Alex went and found him. Ben is with his best bud, Ashley, this year. She went to a different elementary school for the last 2 years, so he's really missed her. Alex started football and goes to practice before school at 6:30 a.m. Joey is in athletics too, but is not doing football. Football conflicted with his soccer practices which his coach wasn't about to tolerate, so Joey is doing off-season basketball. They are all doing well in school and the first week has been good. They all love their teachers and enjoy being with their friends. We might try riding the bus home next week so I can have a break from the carpool lane.
