So pull up a chair and visit a while. Please leave a comment to let me know you stopped by. I'd love to check out your blog as well. Let the blogging begin :)! Ready or not...here I go :)!

Cale's 1st Day of 1st Grade

Yes, Addy is wearing fleece Dora pj's in July. This morning I was trying to pick my battles :).

Where in the world does time go? In ways, it is hard for me to remember life before Cale, but in other ways, it seems like time is passing by so quickly. Yesterday, was "open house"...the meet & greet to begin another school year. Cale was blessed to find out he has a wonderful teacher. He went to her class last year for reading, so he is already familiar with her personality and her classroom. That eased a lot of anxiety about the first day of school (yep, he gets his anxious side from me :)...)

This morning went great! Cale was out of bed just after 6. With his Spiderman book bag loaded with tons and tons of new school supplies, he humored me with a few pics :), and we headed out to school. He walked in all by himself...no need for mom to show him the way. After all, he is a big first grader now :).

At pickup, he jumped in the car with lots of stories to share...new friends, a new schedule, a new treasure box full of "prizes" to earn :). Cale said his first day was "FANTASTIC!!!" Here's hoping this is just the first of many fantastic days to come.
Ready or not first grade...here Cale comes!!!

Sounds like he had a GREAT first day of school. Are you other two staying home with you this year or are they in preschool/MMO?
