First Day of School

We squeezed in haircuts at Super Cuts before school started. All three girls got trims. Tiny had never had hers cut before and wasn't very cooperative. Once she was able to sit on my lap and have a sucker, she was OK.

The stylist may have been too preoccupied by her upcoming wedding because she did a terrible job. I had to take Wren back to get her hair fixed. Tiny's hair is crooked but is not bad enough that I did anything about it.

Ever started first grade on August 20. We really had to scramble to get there on time. Wrenzy went in a flower-girl dress (an Amelie hand-me-down from David's Bridal), and Tiny went in jammie pants. This is the only pic I got:

For her first day of Little Bugs Preschool that Wednesday, Wrenzy selected a lovely business-casual outfit.

Tiny hopped in the frame, and getting a decent photo was impossible.

I tried again at Miss Paula's and was pleased with the results. Jim and I can't agree on which of these adorable photos is better.

A bunch of kids from the ward are in Wrenzy's class, including three other kids who live in Henie Hills. We paired up for carpooling, so that's handy. Miss Paula took this of the class:

Ever wasn't a big fan of her teacher, Mrs. Christian, although I'd heard she was decent. A week or two into school, we were notified that Ever was being moved into a new first-grade class that was being created due to over-enrollment. The teacher, Mr. Quarrie, came over from another Oceanside school. When I told her the news, Ever claimed suddenly to really like Mrs. Christian. She was upset about leaving her friend Gracie in Mrs. Christian's class, wary of a male teacher, and just generally traumatized about the change. She broke down crying after her first day with Mr. Quarrie but quickly became a big fan and is doing great. I think the change was definitely for the best.
