Back to School

Emily actually missed her first two days of school this year thanks to our San Francisco trip. So there was no downtime for her when we returned home. She was back at school the next day. As luck would have it, it was a casual Friday and a half day - not a bad way to ease back into the routine.

First Day of School

I think that she was excited to be back and her friends were happy to see her. She really likes her teachers this year (with the exception of the new PE teacher) and she talks about how much she likes her school.

First Day with Uniform this Time!

Unfortunately, the germs have already started to circulate and Emily actually stayed home with a cold today. Nothing major, but according to her, she "just needed one more day of rest." I can't blame her. I feel like that sometimes, too!

It's been a long time since I have shared one of her classic one-liners. They happen all the time, but I often forget to write them down. She had a good one this past weekend, though. I went to pick her up from a friend's house and the mom was telling me about how she hadn't really eaten anything because everything they offered her was something that she doesn't like. One such item was some freshly cooked chicken, to which she replied, "No, I only eat chicken in France." I got a kick out of that one because it sounds so pretentious, but it really is true. Emily tried (and liked) some chicken in France, but she hasn't tried it again since then. Maybe we'll have to get her to eat some chicken in the US so that she doesn't give people the wrong impression. LOL.
