Yep, it's official! Hunter's a first grader! This picture doesn't show this little man's true feelings, but he was not looking forward to his first day of school. He did not enjoy his time in kindergarten, so why would he want to go back? After many chats of how this year would be completely different than last year, we convinced him it was worth giving it a try (what he didn't know was that he had no choice).
So, he laced up his new tennis shoes, put on his outfit and got ready for the day. He still was not convinced he was going to like it. After snapping a few pictures, he went to the bus stop with his neighborhood friends. There was no fighting getting on the bus, thankfully. I was a little worried that he would refuse to get on. Especially when he was pouting that morning because he did not want to go to school.
Well, after a day of wondering how he was enjoying school, the wait was over when he got off the bus. I couldn't read his expression. Finally he made it across the street and I gave him a hug and asked him how his day was. His face lit up and he said, "Awesome!" Phew!! It looks like his first grade jitters are gone and so far he is loving school. We are excited to see what this year holds with a new teacher and learning new things. And the best thing-he's excited now too!
