Hello First Grade!

Today was Joey's first day of first grade! He has been looking forward to this day for awhile now. Being a first grader is kind of a big deal. Not only does he now get to choose between two hot meals at lunch, he also gets to check out two books at a time from the library (the kindergartners only get to check out one at a time). 

Thankfully he's not too cool to let his mom walk him to his classroom. I even got a hug and kiss goodbye. I am amazed at how much he's matured in the last year. He walked into the school like he owned the place and walked straight to his new classroom. It was such a relief to see him so calm and confident. No first day jitters for this guy!
