First Day of School 2014-2015

This was a busy day but a really fun day.  Nora proved to be quite a handful- as I knew she would be- but I distracted her (handed her my phone. I know, bad parenting) for a little while and we flew through the schoolwork. The first day's work is always fairly easy. I'm looking forward to tomorrow but I'll have to come up with something else for Nora to do. I cannot use that method of distraction every day. I also cannot spend all my morning entertaining her. I'll figure out something...

I wasn't pinterest-y and didn't print out adorable signs for my children to hold. Instead, they held up fingers to represent their grades. Nora was supposed to hold up a zero but she got mad about that and eventually decided to copy Claire and hold up two fingers. Whatever. I was tuckered out by that time. It wasn't a battle I chose to fight.












She came up with pose all on her own.






I know it's a lot of photos that are very similar, but it's my blog and I liked them all. :)

Oh my word. What a lovely bunch.

Maybe you could create some pretend school activities for Norah that she doesn't have access to other times, so it feels special? Sorting, cut & paste in a special 'school' notebook, maybe some kind of matching activity with stickers-- you could make a page with a row of stickers and she has to put a matching one next to it, for instance. Or Norah-only school play-do (or something like that) the other girls can't use.
