First Day Of School...

Here it is the traditional first day of school picture on the front steps...

We had one 1st grader who was NOT about to get up this morning and when I finally got him going it was no stop tears... we made it through breakfast and into school to find his desk...

He was good until we just about got out the door and then he ran after with tears... tried to calm him down by having him work on a project but it was a no go... finally went over to his teacher and told her he was having a hard time this morning and that we were just going to leave. She took his little hand while he sobbed. Poor little guy... I know he will have fun once he gets involved. Will be anxious to hear about it this afternoon.

We had one 3rd grader that was already up with bright eyes and a huge smile on her face when I went to wake her up this morning... from then on she was non-stop talking about how excited she was to go to school! She didn't want to go inside to school like the rest of the students with parents were doing... wanted to wait outside in line until the bell rang.

After we left Walker's classroom I snuck over to Ainsley's class and was happy to see another Mom was still in the classroom so I ran in and grabbed a quick picture of her in her desk... so yeah... mortified was her first response but at least I did get a smile. Preparing my ears for non stop chatting about her first day this afternoon.
