Back To School - First Grade Style!





















I can not believe that school is back in session!!!! Where did the summer go?!! Tyler is off to FIRST GRADE!!! Corey and I always tell Tyler not to grow up. Tyler says "I am trying not to, but it just happens." Tyler is so precious and is soooo excited about first grade. This year he does not get out of school until 2:40. In kindergarten he got out at 12:00, so this is a change for him. He is excited that he gets to eat lunch at school with his friends. What he is really excited about is his Star Wars lunchbox and thermos. Yes, this was the most important purchase made this year for school - forget the crayons and the glue sticks, mom.

Tyler had so much fun on his first day. They reviewed several things that they learned in school last year, and they went to the library where he was able to check out 2 books - one about tractors and the other about cowboys! So far, the past two mornings have been pretty smooth. Tyler understands that he eats breakfast as soon as he gets up. Then he puts his clothes on and gets his hair fixed. We will see how long this smooth morning routine lasts! Until then, Happy School Year Beginnings!
