Today Kristopher started 1st grade. He has the same teacher this year, as he had last year when he was in the 1st grade reading class. He was very excited, and very ready to start. There was a little anxiety though, because we had our first night terror last night, in a while. He also didn't eat much of breakfast this morning. Typically he's been asking for seconds after he finishes. So it's the anxiety showing through. I hope it eases quickly and he is back to his normal self. He was loving on Zoey a lot this morning because she is his shadow, and was highly freaked out by the backpack and rushing to get ready this morning. And I came home to a really grumpy dog, and she's ignoring me. Pouting on her bed because her best friend left her. It's sad.
So he was super excited, and not really in the mood for all these pictures. He looks really grown and big now in these, and looks like he should be a lot further than 1st grade. This new outfit for the first day, is shirt size XL in boys, and shorts are 8's. I know I'll look back someday and say wow he was tiny....Oh and he now wears a size 3 shoe. I can almost share his shoes. I discovered that I wear a size 4.5 or 5 in boys shoes. hahaha
The kids were slighly confused why we were rushing out the door right away this morning, but very happy to get in on the photo action with their "kissafer." After we dropped him off, Miss Danielle was furious with me. She assumes at almost 3, that she is big enough for school too. She was quickly distracted by her friend. 
And here he goes, ready to run in and I was told "I can do this myself. I know where I'm going." Got a quick hug and he ran off. Just like that. He's a 1st grader. And my house is super quiet and boring without him. Time goes way too fast. The plus, I did it this year without tears.
Oh and while he is at school, our first monarch decides it's the ideal time to hatch. So when he gets home, it's time to release our first butterfly. And he missed it coming out. It happened so quickly that I didn't have a chance to get a video for him.
Poor K, with the anxiety. He's going to be fighting that his whole life. Hopefully it was just first day jitters and you don't get anymore for awhile.
ReplyDeleteAnd poor Zoey. Missing her boy. Dang, I love animals... and I hate people that say that animals don't love. Something bad happened in the childhoods of those people.
You know K will probably eat you out of house and home when he is a teenager, right? I think we'd better start saving now cause these big boys are going to make for big grocery bills someday.
