Nathan's First Day of School

It is hard to imagine that Nathan is entering third grade. He is getting so big. He gets to sleep in a little longer than Shayla since his school is closer to the house and starts later. We had a great open house. This year it seems that everyone is ready for him. He was so excited to see his 1st grade teacher and resource teacher. His teacher for this year is very nice and gave him a big hug. Nathan is a hugger and loves it when he gets to see all the teachers. His eyes just light up. It makes me tear up every time. I hope that innocence and joy are around a couple more years.

From what I could tell his teacher went over all her expectations today. He even mentioned to me that I wasn't to load his back pack that his teacher said they were big kids now and that was their job. His goals for the year are to be more organized and work more independently. He had a great time at recess where he got to see some of his closest friends. Lunch must have not been very good because he didn't eat any of it and after school some how managed to lose his lunch box. After care must have been fun. He was excited to go back so it must have been a good day.
