John's First Day of School


That's right loyal blog followers and Family. Yesterday was John's FIRST OFFICIAL DAY OF SCHOOL!!

The story of John's school registration is a bit longer than you would expect. Where we live there are many wonderful schools available. We originally applied to get John into Freedom Academy. Which is a local public Charter school only a few minutes from our home. Unfortunetly, due to the high demand for enrolment, we were unable to get John in to kindergarden as we didn't make the lottery.

So we quickly moved to Plan B. Linda registered John at Westridge Elementry. Another great school only a few minutes away from our home up on Grandview hill.

With School quickly approaching we set ourselves to organizing our affairs. We put all the school dates on the family calendar, bought John some school clothes, and generally prepared for the day John would enter school at Westridge.

I'll be honest in that I was having to prepare myself for the inevitable fact that my John John Man was going to be a big boy in a big school. So I set myself to be prepared for his first day on September 1.

As in all things, plans change. Late Thursday night Linda received a call that John was next on the list to enter Freedom Academy. WHOA!

That's right. A butterfly left a branch somewhere in china effecting the wind patterns and effectively changing the world as we know it.

So instead of John's first day of school being two weeks away his first day was Friday the 21st.

We have been in a constant rush to get him all his supplies and uniformed school gear. But he loves his new school and teacher. We are absolutely excited for him and all the things he'll learn. I think our family will fit in nicely with Freedom Academy.


Edit: Ok, Shawn is still a big baby and is not ready for John to go to School.
