FIRST GRADE

I cannot even believe I just wrote FIRST GRADE! Wasn't it last week that we were in the hospital, excitedly awaiting the arrival of our first baby? Not knowing if we would have a son or daughter, anxiously thinking about the amount of love we had for this new baby, but not knowing we had exceedingly more love than we ever thought imaginable. Ugh! All of my feelings aside, this boy is more than ready for first grade. He has been counting down the days till first grade, since the last day of kindergarten.

He is very excited to be in Miss Thompson's First Grade class. He has several friends in his class this year and thinks it's pretty cool that he has lunch and recess with 3rd grade. And it's the late lunch, this year. He loves that his teacher uses the Smartboard for a lot of daily activities, his favorite, so far, is making his lunch choice on there. He is not excited that the lunch calendar doesn't show any days with chicken nuggets as an option. Hoping September will have nuggets. Also, he told me he plans to walk by his kindergarten classroom every morning and say, "Hi," to his teacher from last year. He told me her promised her last year that he would do that as a first grader (love him!).

Three days in to school and so far, so good. We couldn't be more proud of our big guy!

First Day of 1st Grade

When I grow up I want to be:

~ An Air Force Pilot

On his way to 1st grade!

Waiting in line to go in to school.
He's a professional and didn't even look back to wave.
