1st Day of "Away" School

Isabelle had her first day of "school" today.
We have home schooled her for two years, but this was the first time I dropped her off almost anywhere.
Needless to say it was a little nerve racking for me!
Here we are dropping off in the morning.  The sun was in her eyes - can you tell?
 Unlike most elementary schools she switches teachers and rooms a few times.
Today she only went to one wrong class, so that's good news!
When I picked her up she couldn't stop talking about how much she loved everything.
She will be attending Harmony every Thursday and then we will continue homeschooling her the rest of the week. 
One of her classes is violin. 
She has been begging almost since she could talk to learn violin.
I hope the desire doesn't wear off for a long time to come.
This was Isabelle saying "I LOVE school!"
And I didn't even have to tell her to say it, so you know it's heartfelt.
This violin is so tiny.  It looks like a doll toy.  

Isabelle loves to learn...
regardless of location!

Of course William has his hobbies too.
Mostly it consists of helping out and causing trouble all at the same time.
I didn't realize until I had William the the actual purpose of  handles on the drawers is for climbing.
We should have named him tough monkey.

Today was a very exciting day.
I love "first" days!
