First grade

It's really hard for me to believe that we have a first grader. He started on Monday and was excited, but also a bit nervous. I think it feels like a big deal because he is now in a "grade". Kindergarten was a big adjustment, but this feels substantial too.

Since Monday, he seems to have settled into a smoth routine. He likes his teacher and has already made some new friends. Every day, after school, he makes sure we say "hi" to his Kindergarten teacher. It's really cute and I love how much he still cares for her.

Here he is getting in the car.

and finding his desk. Julia is so happy that he is in the front row (just were she always was in class....no surprise that I was usually in the back, btw. : ) )
