first grade (updated)

first grade...

how in the world did that happen?

time has moved at an incredible speed. jack is growing so fast. he is as funny as ever. never fails to make us laugh. he talks like he's sixteen...but still so much a momma's boy.

he was excited to start school today. i was excited for him but felt sick at the thought of him being in first grade. i still can't get over the shock. i swear, i just brought him home from the hospital yesterday.

sammy was sad to see him go. she gave him two big hugs and just rested her little face on his shoulder. jack promised her he'd be back to play with her after school. those two will be best friends forever.

we are so proud of our little guy. he had way too much fun this summer and grew a ton. we are excited to watch him grow even more.


oh, and now that school is back in full swing, i'm hoping to get this blog updated. i downloaded all the pictures from the past 6 months onto my computer last night. so, hopefully there will be some postings soon.

 

jack loves first grade. you wanna know why? because they get to have lunch recess BEFORE lunch. this was the greatest thing to him. he's such a stud. farmer and i went to the schools open house last week and the teacher said she adores jack. she said he's so complimentary and she just loves talking to him...she said what we already knew: that he communicates much differently than any other six year old. he's on a different level. his vocabulary is off the charts.

 

i just love him to pieces. i can't believe how fast he is growing. however, even though he is a big first grader, he is still every bit of a momma's boy. he still has to have his snuggle time with me every night before bed. we take turns singing songs. i love every second of these moments we get together because i know one day he will be so over the snuggles.
