As you can see we didn't start out overly excited to be up at 6:30 in the morning.
Feeling a little better about going to first grade.
Walking up to the school with friends. Brother insisted on coming for moral support.
Found some friends from the neighborhood: Jackson, Tad, and Tate.
Made it to the classroom. He did okay until he realized the assignment was to write a sentence on what he did this summer, draw a picture, and put the date on it. We are not big on writing. He really sees no need for it but he told me he did write something...not sure what but that's okay. We didn't have near as many tears this year as last, thankfully. He has four friends in his class and the two girls who sit next to him , Ella and Eleanor, both like to ride horses so he has something in common with them. He says he will go back tomorrow so that is a good step in the right direction to tolerating first grade.

I felt about as good as Tate looked at 6:30 this morning. I did have my clothes on, though. Hope it only gets better:)
At least he didn't tell his teacher he wouldn't be back like he did last year. It's good to have friends in class, he'll be doing great soon.
So proud of you Big Tate, thinking of you this week. You too Sister, love y'all
