Last year in 1st grade he had some anxiety the first week or so of school and wasn't sure how he felt about it, which was even harder on me. But, this year he loves it! He loves his teacher and has quite a few friends in his class, plus he is used to being in school all day and going through the lunch time routine. He loves riding the bus and he has even made a new friend in the neighborhood and they ride the bus together along with one of Jaxson's best buddies Sam. It is so sweet to watch my big boy out at the bus stop (which happens to be right on our corner) and just start chatting with his friends. And when the bus comes he casually looks at me and waves. It makes me so proud and so sad at the same time, very bittersweet. I told him yesterday that he is NOT too old to give me a hug before he leaves, but, that if he felt more comfortable giving me a hug before we walk out to the bus stop that's ok. Just as long as I get my hug before my big boy goes off to school for the day.
He informed me the other day that the teacher that teaches PE is lame because she is "old" and she plays lame music during PE. I wonder what he considers "old" it certainly better not be someone my age!! He has a couple of girls that he says are "cute" but there is one girl in particular that he has had a "crush" on since 1st grade. He says he likes her because she is pretty and sassy. That's my boy!!
So far he seems to like it, hopefully that will continue!!
I love you, sweet boy! You are growing up so fast and I am so proud of you! I know you are going to do great in 2nd grade!
My big boy all ready to go! Sniffle sniffle

They got the "red carpet treatment" on the first day!!
