Today was a big day - both Sophia and Zachary had their first day at school. I can't get over how grown up Sophia looks in her uniform! (Nanna actually had tears in her eyes when she came out of her room fully dressed.) She was all smiles getting ready and was so excited to meet her new friends. When we arrived on campus, kids were coming up and saying "Hi, Sophia!" which made her feel even more welcome. We have certainly picked a good week to start - they had a celebration for the opening of the new wing of the school (complete with a band and a "sausage sizzle") and they are going on a field trip to an art museum on Friday.
Zachary had a great first day of school, too. We planned it so that I could drop him off while they were playing on the playground, which worked so well that I think I'll continue doing just that. Here is a photo of him ready to go outside - all school children in AUS are required to wear hats when they go outside (even in winter).
I hesitate to put this in writing (but perhaps that is not the same as saying it out loud?) but Zachary actually slept until 6:30 am this morning. That is exactly 15 days after we arrived which is significant only in that the time difference between Sydney and Austin is 15 hours. . .
Here's hoping that the full night of sleep wasn't a fluke and that we get another full night tonight!
