Nathan's School Day 2
March 1, 2011
New beginnings! (Name that movie!)
Hurray for new beginnings. Today's the start of a new month and day two of Nathan going to school. Today was much better than yesterday.
- I remembered to pack a fruit for Nathan to bring to class, even though it was a banana with brown spots all over it. It counts!
- I found a parking spot in the shade, even though it was way at the end of the parking lot. We got to school half an hour early! How is it that we still ended up at the end of the parking lot? I'm tempted to go even earlier to find out when all those keeners actually arrive, but I don't think my boys would appreciate that kind of craziness.
- I remembered to take pictures of Nathan at school, even though a couple of them were creeper shots. I hid behind a bush so the kids wouldn't see me. Somehow, I don't think that makes it any better.
Caleb and I wait in the shade as Nathan plays on the playground before school.
The creeper shot. I only took pictures of Nathan, I promise.
Nathan plays for a bit after school while I feed Caleb before our drive home.

Some of these pictures are a little grainy. It's easiest to just whip out my iPhone to take pictures these days, but maybe I should start carrying a real camera around again just for some better shots.

On the way home, and when we got home, we managed to Skype with my sister. At one point, we were both on our iPhones, Tweeting and such.
Some things just never change, no matter how far apart you are. It's like we're sitting in the same room... except we're thousands of miles apart on a video call.
