What a difference a day makes! Was that really me yesterday? Did I really cry? Alright, I know it was. It was a tough day...all day long. And I was really dreading this morning as I never know how Josiah will react to a new situation.
Well, he did great! I did great! He walked right into his classroom, took his seat, and began working on his coloring page. He was the only boy in the class today. His elementary school does staggered first days for the kindergartners. So yesterday all 4 of the other boys (there are only 5 in all) went to class and they will all be together tomorrow. Josiah seemed to like knowing he was the only boy. I think it's a middle child thing...no matter what the situation, if you are special, you take it.
So after I got the dog poop cleaned off of his shoe (don't ask), and got back home just to notice I forgot his important first day folder and ran those back up to him, he was set.
Isaac told me to just stick with Josiah today, he could find his own way to his class.
Olivia is all about being an only child.
God, thank you for Josiah. I pray that he blossoms this year in school. Help him to find his own place in this world and to glorify you with his sweet little life. Watch over and protect him and bless his school year.
I love that my boys chose to wear t-shirts the first day of school while all the other kids were in Polos and dresses.

I was so happy to hear that Isaac was pumped to go back--but I knew he would be. Man, Josiah looks so grown up--he's just getting more and more handsome all the time!
Josiah looks so ready for school. I'm glad Isaac was ready to go back. Mom and Olivia, have a great day:)
Yep---he's gonna do just great!! So is Ike. So is Mom. Olivia...she's gonna love it!
Gosh! He looks so grown up in that last picture!!!
Yes, you made it!! They will do so good this year. I agree, Josiah is SO handsome! He just changes so much every picture I see of him. I love their t-shirts also, and the fact that you just let them be them.
I'm glad his first day went well!!! I knew he would do great!!! :)
Oh, Amy! It's so incredible to watch little kids grow! I look at those pictures and can't believe how big they are! I'm praying for them and you all week.
Hi Amy, Of course I don't mind you coming over to my blog to visit and look around!! Thank you! Our puppy (she's one) is a Maltese(3/4) and Shi Tzu (1/4) and is a total sweetheart:)
Your little man, Josiah is ADORABLE! Looks like he's going to do well in his first year of school:)
I know he will do well! We just droped ours off today! Last year was so nerve racking sending the boys to public school for the first time and putting Joshua in Kinder but this year they were excited and ready to go to school. They grow up so fast!
