First Day of High School - I threw on my pj bottoms, a t-shirt, Eddie's sandals (I must have been so styling) and walked Cedric to the bus for his first day of High School. We've attended Freshman Orientation, bought school supplies, done math all summer - and we're ready. Or, I'm ready, I guess. This morning, his assessment was "I'm cold, I'm on my way to High School, and my brother will be with me after school - I'm not having fun".

Oh well, I'm hopeful it gets better. I'm so excited for him to begin this new journey in life - the class switching, the expansion of his friend network, the different thoughts and ideas that swirl around you in high school.

Tell me, does the feeling of remembering how it felt so strongly go away?

And, so I'm not remiss, First Day of Fourth Grade - Xavier was just as excited as Cedric was not to begin his first day of fourth grade. He has the same awesome teacher that Cedric had for 4-5 grades and is off on a learning adventure about exploration and voyages!
