I'm the Mommy of a 2nd grader!!

OH MY! My little boy just started 2nd grade today. I couldn't be more proud. I am surprised he didn't jump out of bed the second he heard my alarm clock radio go off. It actually took me going in there to swat the "lump" out of the bed. Haha.

He was a bit excited after we got him dressed and ready for breakfast. He loves his new converse sneaker/hi-tops. Pat calls them "bobo's" and I have yet to understand where that nickname comes from.

After breakfast, we got cleaned up (teeth brushed, faces washed), and we left. I had made his lunch and packed his school bag with his supplies, the night before, so all I had to do was put his lunch box in his bookbag. We took a few pictures before leaving, and one at the school when we arrived. Being the "new kid" on the block, we were allowed through the main doors (even though they were locked!) to get to the before school care program. I got him signed in, and I even got to meet 2 of his teachers - Mrs. Bartlett and Ms. Stratton. I seriously can't wait to see what goodies they send home with him tonight. :o)

With today being the 1st FULL day of school, I sit here, reminising about my school days. I can not remember my first day of school being a full day. I always had a 1/2 day. Well, at least I don't have to worry about how he is doing from a 1/2 day dismissal to when I pick him up at the after care program. With the full day, I know that he'll be ok for the hour and a half before picking him up. :o)

My little boy is getting TOO big. I swear, he was in diapers about a month ago, and starting kindergarten yesterday. Where does the time go???

Check the comparison - here is the 1st day of Kindergarten not knowing what to expect.

And here he is, this year, knowing what to expect and a 2nd grader!

I'll fill you all in tomorrow, on how his 1st day went.

Enjoy!
