First Day of First Grade

Walker was PUMPED this morning

about first grade!!!

Sure made this mommy feel

good about sending him back to

school all.day.long.

Didn't keep me from thinking about him

all.day.long. though!!!

AND missing him all.day.long.

Waiting in the cafeteria with one of his good buddies...

We walked our Big Little Guy to his class and I

quickly realized this would be the last time

to walk him to a classroom. He didn't even need

mommy and daddy one bit at all!!!

Thank Goodness I have two more kiddos to go!

I had not one worry leaving my son

with this beautiful teacher...

He most certainly had a different expression

on his face this year than he did last year.

I'll never forget that strong tough, but oh so

scared look when we left him at kindergarten!!!

When Hadlee and I picked him up,
I asked him how his first day was and his answer was...

"THE BEST!!!"

Last year on our drives home all of his answers

about his day were very short and usually

involved "I don't remember."

Today, he couldn't stop talking and

telling me ALL about his day!!!

I loved it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Little Miss couldn't wait to pick up

her Bubs this afternoon!When your birthday always falls the

day after school starts every year, it's hard

not to BEG and PLEAD to open a present early...And even harder for your mommy

to not let you...Walker...we are so happy that you had a great

first day of first grade. Our prayer is

for many, many more "BEST" days like today!!!

Did I seriously hug and kiss my SIX year

old little baby boy for the last time tonight

before bed?!? HOLD ME!
I can't wait to hug and kiss my SEVEN

year old in the morning!!!!!!!!!!!!

Or better yet at 12:01 am!!!
