The start of a new school year

Thomas is in first grade. That means staying at school from 7:50 am to 2:30, having lunch at school, and the biggest thing he enjoys....3 recesses! Now Mommy just has to learn how to let him go to class by himself instead of chatting with someother parents, while making sure he gets to where he needs to go when the bell rings. I apparently have embarrased him since he says "Mom, you don't have to walk me to my class anymore!" Oh well. Here are some pics of his first day of school.
