First day of First Grade

 We now have a 1st grader in the house! Yesterday Tyson eagerly headed back to school. He kept saying "Mom, is it time to go yet?" and was so excited to head out the door to his first day of first grade.

We met Tyson's teacher last week at a back to school event, and we are looking forward to getting to know her better this year. She is a literacy specialist, which is great because our boy LOVES to read and we hope that Mrs. Faraci will foster that love and help it to grow!

 I was so excited to see the bus come down the road. I couldn't wait to hear how Tyson's first day had been!

Home again, home again
When I asked Tyson how the day had been, he gave me a thumbs up sign. He said he loved lunch and snack time, he thinks his teacher is really nice, and sometime they are going to do science and make GOO. How exciting!
Looks like someone had a GREAT day
It was easy to see that he had a great day and he was eager to head back again this morning. We are so thankful that Tyson loves to learn and goes off to school with a smile on his face.

A very good idea to meet the teacher before school starts.
