Today was a bittersweet day - it was Zach's first day of school in 3rd grade. He is really getting so big and I can hardly believe he's already in 3rd grade! Last night was back to school night and we went over and met his teacher Miss Berry. She seems really nice and I just know he's going to have a great year.
This morning he was all smiles and so excited to go!
This is the outfit he chose to wear, doesn't he look handsome?!?
He's been most excited to wear his brand new shoes, he wanted me to get a picture of them to put on the blog so everyone could see how cool they were!
Here he is with his backpack all ready to head out the door.
Before I knew it, it was time for him to go - he turned around for one more picture and then ...
... off he went with the neighbor kids for his first day of school.
I didn't think I would, but I teared up just a bit. It has been kind of a crazy summer and he's been more bored than anything else. We've both been looking forward to school and having him something more structured to do and learn. But, I have to admit, my mind flashed back to this:
How on earth did my little baby get so big so fast?
Seems like just yesterday we were bringing him home from the hospital and now he's a big 3rd grader. Time goes by so fast and sometimes it feels like you blink and they grow up on you. *Sigh* Such is life I suppose. So, now we are waiting for his return in the next little bit and to hear all about his fabulous first day of school. I just know it will have been so much fun!
(Another first day of school post will be coming next week when kingergarten starts - but I'm trying not to think about that right now!)
