First Day of School!

He was very happy to be going to school today. The backpack has only his lunchbox in it. A SpeedRacer lunchbox with a Ziploc containing Goldfish and a bottle of water. When we arrived at the school he cold barely contain himself, unbuckling and rushing to get out of the truck. Then he stands there and asks if I am coming in with him. And then asks if he looks cute.



Look at how excited he is here, it seems he is using his Power Boost to get up those steps.


Peeking in the window of his classroom door.


Mrs. S. introduces him to the other students.


Then turns to me to confirm that his name IS Landon. Mrs. S. and I have known each other now for many years, so it was a nice surprise to see her working here!


Hanging back from the group for now.


The wonderful Mrs. M. graces the scene. We feel so privileged to have each of our children being their school lives with her.


When Mrs. M. asks him if he would like to get in line, he says "yes, Bye Mom." and heads for the lineup. There he is at the front of the line waiting to walk to his classroom. If you look closely you can see how his arms are folded really tightly across his chest.

Then I left and I did not cry, I did not even feel like crying. He was so happy to be at "little kid school" and that makes me very happy.
