first day... of first grade

Summer flew by so fast this year! My son, Elias, started first grade today! I felt a little rejected this morning, because not only did he not want me to walk him to class ("Just drop me off right there, Mom! You don't need to walk me to class!" he begged)... he didn't want me to hold his hand or take pictures! Ugh! Talk about a RUDE awakening for me! My little boy is growing up way too fast for me! But I did have a proud moment this morning! He woke up at 6 a.m. with NO COMPLAINTS... and he helped pack his lunch! And he waited patiently in front of his classroom & introduced himself to his teacher with poise & confidence (& no attitude, thank goodness!).... Here's to a wonderful school year!

*Elias looking so serious... so grown up... so mature... like a first grader!*


*ha! Just kidding! That's my goofy boy! (he likes to make silly faces!)*
