First Grade

(August 2018)

 The first day of school.

I cannot believe we have a first grader.

New backpack, new collar shirts, new shorts, and new shoes were all a must.

BUT he made it perfectly clear he did NOT want a new lunch box.

Easy enough.

(Side story: Miles has been wearing converse shoes since he could walk.

So naturally we bought a new pair for the new year but we also wanted to get him tennis shoes for his P.E. days.

 Little did we know these red Nikes are his pick for everyday! 

He is obsessed with them! 

Is it because they are red or more comfortable? We don't know.)

 He kind of had the first day of school jitters but not bad.

As soon as we found his teachers line to stand in he and Jayson immediately stood together.

These two sat next to each other in Kindergarden the entire year and they were the ONLY ones from their kinder class in the new class.

We were shocked.

The kids, us moms- we were all relieved they had someone they knew.

All the crazy parents followed the first graders to their classrooms to say goodbye...

I ran up to check on Miles before he went inside- he was doing just fine!

It's going to be a great year.
