First Day of School

The boys were up and going this morning with a buzz of excitement because today was the first day of school! Four boys were getting dressed. Four boys were eating breakfast. Four boys were gathering their school supplies for the first day. Count them.... Alec... Micah... Brady... and Skyler. Yep. Four boys going to school.

Each one was excited for school but I was particularly worried about Skyler. He started K-3 and was excited but being away from Mom for that long? Is it possible? The solution? Dad. For the first time ever, I didn't take the boys to school on the first day. I was sad I couldn't do that but it worked. I was told Skyler was a little nervous and scared but didn't cry at all! Yes!

When I picked them up Skyler came running to me saying, "School was so fun!" and "There are girls in my class!" Oh boy! Here we go! Micah had a great big hug for me and said he had a great day at school. Brady's comment was, "Oh Mom, I worked so long and hard today!" And Alec, he had an adventure going back and forth from classroom to classroom as he started Middle School. Each one of the boys had a wonderful first day of school. What a great start for the new school year.
