The Big Day!

Well, today Austin officially has two days of first grade under his belt! He is loving school and comes home and tells me about his day. He told me that he sat by Autumn Hood for lunch and played with Tyler during recess. He said his favorite part of the day was playing (figures!). He did such a GREAT job yesterday! He got up when asked, ate ALL of his breakfast (biscuit, eggs and apple slices), got dressed and brushed his teeth. He was very excited to get the day started and give Mrs. Mosby her gift. He was all smiles...no crying. He didn't cry last year either...tough guy!

Austin's Power Ranger lunchbox all ready to go. He did inform me after school that he wants to "buy a tray". That is fine, but I do like packing his lunch. When I do, I feel like I am sending a little love with him.

Eating a good breakfast! He was a hungry boy!

Big first grader ready for the first day of school...with his new camo backpack!

Russell went into work a little late so he could join in on the fun! The whole gang is ready to walk big brother to school...Sammy was excited too. Notice her lunchbox! She can't wait till it is her turn to go to school!

Austin & Me before school

Austin was very excited to give Mrs. Mosby her gift.

Sammy enjoyed walking Austin to school. She wanted to know when it would be her turn to go to school. She had to take her lunch box to walk Austin on his big day!

The "Grand Entrance" into first grade! Mrs. Mosby loved her gift. She laughed when she saw the Tylenol.

Austin went right to his chair and started to color. He did such a great job! No worries...he already knows some of the kids in the class.

Austin had a GREAT first day and the girls and I were so excited to see him! We missed our Austin at home!

I took all the kids to McDonald's to celebrate the first day with an ice cream cone! They had fun and enjoyed cooling off after a hot day!

I watch Alyssa Davis before and after school. This will be my second year to watch her. She is in second grade and is sooooo good!! Austin and the girls LOVE to play with her and she is such a BIG help! We love our Alyssa!
