Today, my little boy started THIRD grade!! Wasn't he JUST in Kindergarten??? I was able to get a few pictures of the event, however, VERY few because I was specifically told what was and wasn't allowed so as not to embarrass him this year. He has never let me forget about the first day of 2nd grade so I had very specific guidelines that I was required to stay within. First, any hugging in the car (before we enter the school) was acceptable, granted, there were no other kids looking. Second, I was to get all my "I love you's" and "I'll miss you's " out before entering the school where his friends would, in fact, be. Third, If I MUST say goodbye while he is in his classroom, there is no hugging or TOUCHING, just a goodbye and then LEAVE. And above all, do a quick check around the room to make sure no other kids were looking before attempting anything!! So here is the "on the way to school" picture......
Here he is waiting to go to the classroom. The other kids were all talking and destracted so I was allowed to take this photo.
When we got to the classroom, he went and found a seat right next to his best bud, Kaden. And proceeded to empty his backpack. Now, he WAS with me when we bought all his school supplies, but apparently paid absolutley NO attention to what I was putting in the cart, because he opened up his backpack full of the supplies and it was like Christmas morning. He was so excited and surprised at everything he pulled out of there, you'de think he'd never before seen a pencil case, or index cards.........silly kid!
I asked them to both look at me and smile for the picture and they, of course, were too cool for school so this is what I got. But, hey I guess I should just be happy with I did get, because this was, in fact, an unauthorized photo outside the designated "picture time" window. My, how kids change right before our eyes!!!!
