My First Grader

Somehow my little boy is old enough to be in First Grade.  Again...how did that happen?!  These babies of mine are growing up way too fast.  

After a summer of staying up late and sleeping even later, 6 am came early for all of us.  But Andrew didn't complain.  He jumped out of bed and got ready for school.  Here's our annual "first day of school" picture.  

 I walked him in and to his classroom, but I didn't go "in"his room.  I stayed only long enough to snap this picture with Ms. Hoffman.  

 And just for reference....here's last year's photo.

I picked him up and he was all smiles, so he had a great first day.  He did say that first grade felt a lot longer than Kindergarten.  He said his favorite part of his day was "running a lap and playing at PE."  When I asked his favorite part of Ms. Hoffman's class, he responded, "Science and Math."
