Lawson & Hayden's First Day of School

After having a great experience last school year, I'm teaching at the local community college again this fall semester. This time around I'm teaching two classes (Mass Communication and Public Speaking), so I have to be on campus all day Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. When I was first offered this schedule I was very anxious about how I'd manage child care, but we were fortunate to have Hayden & Lawson both accepted into the on-campus Child Study Center. (You might remember that Dillon & Koen attended the child care center at SFSU when I was in grad school there, and they had a great experience!) 

I am so excited to have them on campus with me, and it will be really valuable for them to have some time with non-family caregivers. The center actually has low enrollment this school term, so they are basically going to receive one-on-one care, which is unheard of in group care settings anymore. Fall semester Hayden will be in the infant room, and Lawson in the 2/3 year-old classroom. 

When I dropped them off on their first day, Lawson adjusted immediately. Hayden, however, cried & cried. I'm sure it will wear off quickly, though. We're looking forward to a great school year!

Walking up the path to school, lunch boxes in tow.

First Day of School 2014

It's hard to believe, but today Dillon started 5th grade, and Koen 4th grade.
