Yesterday was the first day my daughter and son attended school. Well, my daughter attended when she was much younger — kindergarten and grade 1, but my son has never attended school before. I should mention that my children are home-schooled.

So entering high-school in grade nine for my daughter is a big step. Although we didn’t plan to put my son in school for another while, he asked if he could attend. He will be attending grade 7.

It’s quite a change for them both. Speaking with them when I arrived home yesterday, they were excited and enjoyed their day — both looking forward to returning.

Time will tell how they find school as the winter comes and it is not as pleasant coming and going to school — walking in the cold and snow to catch the bus in the early morning.

I guess this is a milestone in each of our lives and I wish these beautiful, bright, children the best in their time at school. I know they will do great and make some friends they will remember throughout their lives.
