First Day of School 2008!!

Well it's official the kids are back in school!! Today was a cute day, I can't believe I have a first and second grader it's SO WEIRD! We started off on our walk to school and soon caught up to our friends the Jensen's from church who live around the corner. Grace and Emma are both first graders, different teachers but their classrooms are next door to each other. This is Grace's first year at Cedar Point, she went to Bristow Run last year because they were living in a different house and she was a bit nervous to be at a new school. Emma, being the good caring friend she is ran up to Grace on the path and next thing you know they were holding hands and never let go until it was time to part ways and go to class. Emma gave me a big kiss and hug then barely waved to me she was so excited to be back at school and in her classroom (which coincidentally was Peyton's first grade classroom just a different teacher) she's like a fish to water at school. Peyton wanted to hold hands with who else but me his Momma! hee hee So we held hands on our walk, but man once we were at school forget it! He's a big ol second grader, classroom in the second and third grade hallway! No more bathrooms in the classroom for him, his bathrooms are community and in the hallway, they have two in their hallway in fact! So nope...no need to walk me to class Mom (still got a big hug and kiss), I got it, I go right, then left, then right, classroom's on the corner! There went my big boy! WOW! After I knew Emma was settled I had to run take a peak at Peyton, he saw me and waved with a very BIG SMILE and yelled, "Hey Mom guess what Rahmann is in my class!!!" They were in first grade together, I said, "NO WAY!!!!" He said, "yup LOOK!" and ran over next to him and pointed ha ha ha! I said, "very cool Peyton, have a great first day!" to which he simply said, "I love you!" I hope he never stops saying that! I said I love you too! And that was it, I had my day all to myself! To do laundry, go grocery shopping, get dinner made, etc. etc. etc. but I got to do it....all by myself until it was time to pick them up of course! ha ha ha ha It was a goo first day of school!
