First Day of School

Well summer is over (although you can't tell by the weather... it was 107 degrees today!!), and school has started. Today was Kason's first day of 2nd grade. I cannot believe how fast the time goes by!! I managed to get through this morning without any tears, but I came close when I was driving off. It is just so hard to believe that my baby boy is in 2nd grade.

Kason was ready and excited for school to start back. He got his Michael Jordan sneakers and backpack, so he was ready. You may think the MJ accessories were Gary Don's idea, but you would be wrong. Kason HAD to have MJ shoes and backpack. He is such a little Gary Don!! Here are a couple pics taken before school this morning:

When we got to school, Kason was Mr. Cool. I really don't think he wanted me to walk him in, but he humored me. :) He was, however, verbal about not wanting me to take pictures in his classroom. But what are mothers for, if not to embarrass their kids! I figure I might as well start early. :) I pointed out to Kason that there were tons of moms there taking pictures with their big cameras while I only had my little non-obtrusive cell phone camera. That didn't seem to matter to him. :) I forced him to take the two pics below. The first was outside of his classroom in the hall. You can see by his expression that he was way too cool to have his mom take a picture of him. Ha!

The next one was even worse because we were actually in his classroom with his friends watching. Oh, the horror!! :)

All joking aside, we are very proud of our sweet boy. He has a great heart and a quick mind. We know he will do great in 2nd grade. We love you, Kason!!!
