Back to School!

Here comes 1st Grade, Yikes!  As you can see Corbin is excited for School and couldn't wait to get to school on the first day which was last Wednesday.  I had to ask him to get out of the car so I could get a picture of him before we took him to school.  I, on the other hand was not too excited about school starting.  It seemed to come way to fast this year and it still feels like we should have a few more weeks of Summer.  Even though we were all ready by Wednesday it still felt like total craziness and like we were not prepared.  I still can't believe I have a 1st grader.  I think my Kids are growing up way to fast.  Something kind of funny was that on the first day of school, Corbin decided that he had all the sudden become all grown up.  He went into the Bathroom to brush his teeth and declared that he no longer needed to use the step stool to stand on to brush his teeth and do his hair because he was a bigger Kid now since he was going to 1st grade and he could reach without it..  All morning he was declaring that he was bigger and didn't need this or could do this now.  We had a few good laughs through out the morning.

Check out this huge back pack.  Where did Corbin go?  Corbin saw this backpack back when the
"How to Train Your Dragon" movie came out in theaters and wanted it so bad.  So I told him he could get it if he hung it in his closet till school started.  He still loves it even after sitting in the closet for several months.  There is a detachable lunch box on the front and he has been asking everyday if I will make him cold lunch so he can use it.  I think I've got him convinced to wait till next week when we have a better idea of the lunch schedule to see what days he might want to really start taking cold lunch. 

Anyway here we go another school year.  After 3 days of it so far it looks like it might be a better year than last.  I sure hope so!  Corbin has a good Teacher that has come highly recommended by other parents.  That should help and Corbin really does seem a bit more mature this year so I hope that helps too.  Wish us all luck that we may get through this year and it be a positive one!  Good luck to all you that have started or our starting next week!
