First Day of First Grade

Nicolas might not have wanted to say good-bye to summer just yet as he has enjoyed so much swimming, hanging out with friends, trips locally and away. But he was excited to start first grade. He can't wait to use his desk for homework (wonder how long that will last). To keep learning to read chapter books, learn more about globes and maps, and to bring on all the math you can. Oh, don't forget P.E., recess, art and whatever else he can soak up in school.

So the first day of school came.



Backpack was ready, supplies were in tow (by his parents who were beating the bus to school to greet him there) and Nicolas was excited to meet his new teacher, classmates and a desk all his own.

I get one more hug in with my little boy. We both held it together much better then last year!
Shawn is there for first day as he always is for any moment with his kids that he can be. Good daddy!
Nicolas gets off the bus with his buddy, Aidan. They may not be in class together but they get to play at recess and that works for them.
Nicolas waves from across the bus... "bye bye mom"
The day is over and Andrew gets the squeeze on to neighbors, Nicolas and Ryan, as they have a great day.

We surprised Nicoals with slushy and lunch and a trip to our friends pool for the afternoon. Great first day!
