Today was the first day of school for these two. Juju could not have been more thrilled.
He bounded off in his huge backpack, like a doggie off to the park.
Zoe was a little sad to say goodbye to summer this time. She knows as the days get darker, the weeks feel longer, and the work harder. But she too was looking forward to seeing her buddies, and being reunited her old Kindergarten teacher, Nick, who will be her teacher for second and third grade.
Julian is already so familiar with the school, after dropping off and picking up Zoe for two years, but never staying.
The principal told me later that during his first day of school tour, Julian saw her in her office, threw his hands in the air and yelled, "I'm HERE! I'm finally HERE!!".
She was tickled to tears.
