First Day of School!!!

It's the first day of school.

But not just that, it is the first day at a NEW school.

Yes, since we have moved the boys switched schools.

They have been so good about this, they have not once complained or said they didn't want to go.

One night about a month ago, Michael came and got in my bed in the middle of the night. He said that his legs hurt because he was growing...that's Michael!!

I do not do well in the middle of the night, so I gave him some pain medicine and let him sleep with me. The poor baby tossed and turned all night.

The next day I got some one on one time with him (he CRAVES this) and he told me that the reason he couldn't sleep is because he was afraid of going to a new school. He is in the fourth grade and I was a little concerned about this but it was such a sweet time to share with him all that God was going to do through him and that he is such a precious child, that everyone would love him!!

When we went to meet the teacher last week it turns out that there are SIX new students in his class. Praise Jesus he is not the only new kid!!

Alex has not said much, but I always worry about him because it takes him longer to warm up to people, but this morning when I walked him class, his friend from church... Garrett Garner goes to his school, while they are not in the same class, it is a familiar face!!

I was proud that he wasn't upset when I left him. He liked his teacher and liked his new classroom.

Michael of course walked to class by himself, five steps ahead of me...I did sneak down his hallway and made sure he got there ok...it's the mom in me, shhh...don't tell him!!

I know they are going to have a great day.

I know they are going to make lots of new friends.

I know they are going to be starving when they get home.

I know they are going to be exhausted and in bed by 8:00 pm!!!

Yeah.
