Hello First Grade

If it seems like a mistake that I just posted Sam's last day of Kindergarten and am just 3 weeks later posting about his first day of first grade, it is no mistake.  Here in "Kidville", we are on year round schedules (Sam is in 1 of 9 first grade classes this year) and that's just how the ball bounces.

Sam was very excited, and nervous.  Yesterday he went and met his teacher and learned how things work.  We had a classroom and school tour and learned how to have lunch at school.  This helped take a lot of the butterflies in his stomach away. 

 This morning we had a Back to School party ready for him to be excited for his big day.

 He got his favorite breakfast, pancakes, and even had a special little something waiting for him.

 We gave him one prize with breakfast and then another to open when he got home if he was able to make it through his first day.

 James and Chloe were so excited for Sam and wished him the best.

 One of the best and most exciting things about going to first grade is that Sam now gets to play on the big playground.  Good times will be had for sure.

My favorite thing about today was when I picked Sam up from school and he said, "I guess first grade isn't so bad after all."  That a boy!
