3nd Grade
It's official, Celeste has begun 3nd grade. Her first day of school went really well. I still had my lump in my throat, and fought some tears-but I did win the battle. She really wanted to ride the bus, but also wanted us to follow the bus in the car. Which of course we did. All the teachers lined up as the kids entered the school They were also playing some kind of Olympic or Rocky music over the intercom. It was pretty cute. Cele is extremely excited for the new school year. She loves her new teacher, Miss Bevil. She is just awesome, and has already done some really great things in her class. Celeste has also been doing well with her homework. She has been doing her reading, practicing, and household chores with little complaining.
