Well it's technically Day Four, but the picture was made on Day One.
Day One of Middle School.
The first day of my little boy's trek into the land of lockers,
changing classes,
remembering schedules,
figuring out 6 teachers instead of 1,
more choices at lunch (woo hoo!),
and
no recess.
He's not too jazzed about that last one. He said PE doesn't count.
So far, he's doing fine.
So far, I feel old.
The summer was too short, and it was too hot. (I know that's irrelevant, but ya'll. It's been hot.)
Don't misunderstand me... I do love some alone time, and he is a great student... he'll have a successful year, I am sure of it.
I am just not ready to have a kid who's halfway to Graduation.
The night before the real first day, he was lying on the couch with his head in my lap. We were talking about Middle School and him growing up and how I was not a fan of either when he said the words that this momma loves to hear,
"But I will always be your baby."
Yes, baby giraffe, you sure will.

"But I will always be your baby." --- Awww!
I hope he has a great 1st year of middle school.
Yes indeed, it has been hot and that is relevant to every-little-thing. You could say, "I bought new shoes today and darn but this summer has been hot" and I would absolutely get it.
Middle school - COOL! Halfway to graduation - yikes. I hope he has a great year!
