August - School Starts!

I was nervous about Charlie starting Kindergarten like every Mom in the world.  But because everyone in this school district knows me as "Crazy Mom", they let me practice with Charlie the day before.  It was a good thing too, because that day he stood at the front doors and screamed "NO! I don't want to go!"  He was all smiles before we tried to actually go in.

 

Tyson had to show him how it was done.

And Charlie played along.

 

He posed for this picture then melted down.

We worked through it as much as we could, but I was imagining the worst when the real day came.

Well, he made a big liar out of me the day of.  He walked in like a champ and could not have cared less when Joel and I had to leave.  But really I would much rather have it be that way.  He caught on quite quickly.

 

And my 4th Grader!!!

 

He said, "Bye Mom and Dad, I got this!"  So grown up...
