First Day of First Grade

James has been so ready for the first day of school.  All weekend the excitement has been building.  It didn't make it any easier that it was raining and we didn't get out to do much.

Yesterday he woke up and asked how much longer to bedtime so that he could go to sleep and have it be time for school.  He was bouncing off the walls all day long.

This morning he woke up at 7am which would be okay except that daycare is closed so we didn't have to leave for school until 8:15 since he and Mike were walking.  He was ready to go by 7:15 and was really wound up.  He was bouncing all around the house.  I finally had to say lets work on your scrapbook to help pass the time.  That helped a lot.

He and Mike walked to school today so they left at 8:15.  I drove over a little later so that Mike had a ride back so he could leave for work.  When we got to school he still had to wait a few minutes, but he was with all the kids so it was okay.

When he got to his classroom he gave us a big hug and disappeared.  He is so ready to be in the first grade.  He is excited and loves school.  I think last night was worse than Christmas Eve as far as excitement.  I can't wait to hear how his first day went.
