Boy, oh, boy. Jonathan and I practiced getting up for school today...at 6:45AM! He shot out of bed and beat me getting dressed! If he keeps that up, we can sleep in another 15 minutes. We had a nice breakfast together, and then we walked to the bus stop to test it out. We were about a minute late, but I slowed us down by not having my shoes on right away.
When we got home, I emailed our bus captain to invite the rest of the bus stop kids to join us on M and/or T to practice and to meet before school officially starts. Seem to have gotten good response on that.
Once Elise was up and fed, we headed out to the Atlanta Botanical Gardens, which we are now members of. What a lovely complex! They have a special exhibit on living sculptures, so we sought them all out. They also have a children's garden, so we spend a good amount of time exploring that. And, the Conservatory has a frog exhibit, so we spotted a few (poison dart frogs) there and then (bullfrogs) throughout the rest of the trip in lily pads, etc. We visited the eatable garden and identified most of the plants; they have a neat vertical herb garden. They also have a very cool 'skywalk' that Jonathan really wanted to do. There are so many neat nooks to sit and enjoy. I think we'll be spending a lot of time at the gardens.
Jonathan also found out who his 1st grade teacher will be. We read her bio online but there's no picture, and we figured out where his classroom will be too.
