This year was quite a change for our family with Cael reaching 5th grade he would be attending Middle school and Brecon would be in 1st grade at the Elementary school. I think Cael was a little nervous about having a locker and going to different classes. He wasn't sure how he felt about these big changes.
One of the neat things about Cael in middle school is he and Ben walk out of the door together at the same time. As long as we can get lunches packed and everything else ready in time, then it all works out. There have been a few days where Cael isn't quite ready, and he gets quite upset about not walking with his Dad.
Brecon was acting pretty goofy on the first morning as we walked him to the front of the school. He read the sign and made a crazy face (above) and then for the group picture he is looking rather violent towards the green circle (below).
He really is such a good and independent boy. All last year he was basically walking himself to line up with his teachers in the morning. This year he insists on walking all by himself, although some days I "tag" along or if he is acting difficult he will have to hold my hand the whole way. He wants to be first in line but that doesn't always happen. He runs as fast as he can at the end of the day through the back field and forest. His reading is improving and I can see his confidence in that area growing each time we read together.
