As predicted, Clare was overjoyed to return to school and delighted with her first day. Her teacher, Mrs. Roux (pronounced Roo), has dubbed the class "Mrs. Roux's Crew," and it's hard to imagine a more enthusiastic member. As it was a half day, they didn't get to everything, but Mrs. Roux did get through several of the rules and regulations - right up Clare's alley. And then there is the homework journal. Clare positively waxes poetic about it! It's sweet, and wonderful - but really hard not to laugh, too. I mean, seriously? The homework journal?
I am pleased to report that Clare is still perfectly content to don her uniform, and also took pains to dress her Felicity doll in her own uniform. (She will be quick to point out that Felicity's uniform matches Clare's winter uniform, not the summer uniform seen here.) I am furthermore delighted to report that Clare learned to tie her shoes in no time flat and takes great pride in doing so.
So, we're officially back to the grind. Though a half-day Thursday and full-day Friday are a nice way to ease into it. The pink tee that Clare is sporting today is part of "casual Friday." (Provided it is a CKS shirt, they can wear whichever shirt they choose.) She's not home yet, but knowing Clare she's already counting the hours until Monday.
