{ I have a first grader... }

Me?!!! I have a kid in grade one wow time goes by so fast he said he was scared when he got up this morning but that quickly left and he was excited! But he did great and was really excited to go and did great. He did get embarrassed that I took so many pics but oh well! He has a great class a good bunch of kids it will be just fine.
Taking him today was 100 percent better then taking him to kindergarten last year where I hung around finally left and cried that my little baby was going into kindergarten and was going to be gone everyday! Grade one totally different maybe cause I was looking forward to school starting and getting the wiggles out of him and getting some sort of routine going for us. Not sure but I know he will do just fine he's a great kid.

He had the heaviest backpack and kept telling me to hurry take the picture cause it was so heavy!

His hurry up {once again} take the picture face! “This life is yours. Take the power to choose what you want to do and do it well. Take the power to love what you want in life and love it honestly. Take the power to walk in the forest and be a part of nature. Take the power to control your own life. No one else can do it for you. Take the power to make your life happy.”

Love this quote

We all want what is best for our kids and we teach them best we know how to. I know the first five years are the very most important and I've tried hard to teach him all that is important and to have respect and to show him how much we love,appreciate and support and value him and want him to be happy. Before we sent him out into the world now I guess its his turn to learn. Hopefully we've taught him well to make wise choices and to be an example.

And today the moment I watched him walk ahead of me to school where he will spend the next twelve years of his life, I was overcome with the love I have for this boy that I hope and pray he makes wise choices, is happy and healthy and loves life and lives it to the fullest. That he won't get hurt to often and that he won't have to many hardships in life. That he will have success and love and live the gospel. I love my kids so so much! What a job we have to raise the next generation are we doing the best we can? We have been given some of the greatest gifts on this earth what are we doing with them?

That's the question - I think about that a lot.

Anyway he had a great day! and that's what counts.

HAve a great day. Make it a memorable one.
