First Day of School

I didn't cry.

I swear.

Well, maybe I got a little choked up and my eyes leaked. But just a little.

David was so cute yesterday. He could NOT understand why he had to wait to go to school. There are 55 minutes between big bro's school start time and his school start time. Let me tell ya, 55 minutes is a LOOOONG time to walk around the house wearing your backpack and talking about school.

Here he is:

We're finally at school

Ready for his first day of school!

Dropoff went fine. He was a little anxious/shy at first but the teaching assistant swooped him right up and took him off into the classroom. I love the teaching assistant. No phone calls all morning... but we were standing by and ready just in case! When we picked him up, we peeked into the window and he was sitting with his class on the carpet paying attention to the book the teacher was reading. Too cute... We were told that David did great ~ no problems at all ~ and that he is a joy to have in class.

The rest of the day, David bounced around the house in super-happy mode smiling and laughing and playing tricks on us. And wearing his backpack. And reading the note that his big bro left in his backpack for him that morning. I guess he really really really really likes school.

So we're at yet another new stage in our life. Our second kid is officially in school.

And yep, he sure is a joy. :o)

For you, LORD, are the Most High over all the earth;
   you are exalted far above all gods. 
Let those who love the LORD hate evil,
   for he guards the lives of his faithful ones
   and delivers them from the hand of the wicked. 
Light shines on the righteous
   and joy on the upright in heart. 
Rejoice in the LORD, you who are righteous,
   and praise his holy name.        Psalms 97:9-12
