Dawsons first day of Second Grade

Well my Big Boy is a second grader! It seems like yesterday he started preschool and now 2nd grade. Where has the time gone?? He ill be 7 on Wednsday!! We went to his open house on Saturday and met his tecaher and I totally love her. Emmalee's preschool teacher used to teach at his school and so I can get the heads up on all the teachers that have worked there since she did. From the class he was in last year, I was worried he was going to get a teacher I was warned I wouldn't want him to have so I was pleased when I saw he didn't get her. His new teacher seems really fun and spunky and totally sweet. I liked her after talking to her for less than a minute. I asked Emmalee's teacher about her and she said that she is a wonderful teacher so I feel good.

Dawson was so excited to start school. The last 2 weeks I noticed he was getting bored at home. I asked him what he was most excited about and he said being upstairs this year, seeing his friends and recess, lol.

He has late bus this year so we can wake up at 7 instead of six! For a mom who isn't a morning person this will be nice. I woke Dawson up at 7 and told him after he was showered and dressed to wake me up. I expected him to wake me up at 7:20 or something. He must have been reallye xicted because he woke me up at 7:09 and he was completly ready for school. I wish he would be that quick all the time. Usually he operates on snail time for everything.

Last night Mike gave Dawson and Emmalee their Father's Blessings for the school year. Dawson told Emmalee to get in the chair first. He sat down by me and said "Since this is Sissy's firt year of school, I am letting her go first!" I thought that was so sweet. Then Mike cut his hair, he went to bed and couldn't fall asleep till 10:30 because he was so excited.

Here are some pictures. I am doing a comparison of this year and last year (Last year first):
