First Day of the First Grade

On any given morning, Jackson does NOT like waking up. I went in to wake him up on Monday morning and he BOLTED out of bed and said, "I am so excited!". We met his teacher last week and she is very southern, which made me smile. We've heard only the best things about her. Fourteen of his classmates from Kindergarten are also in his class this year. His 4 closest buddies are all with him again. He is so happy about that!
To his delight, we are allowing him to ride the bus this year. What is it about seeing him get on a bus that makes him seem so BIG?? Hannah is enamored by the big yellow bus and cried to get on and go to school with Jack. She looked for him and asked about him all week.

As he stepped off the bus Monday afternoon, he yelled "Mom!" and came running to me with a big smile and bigger hug. :) He had a great day and REALLY likes his teacher. In fact, he has told me several times how pretty she is and how pretty she talks... uh-oh! A crush??
