Carter and Ethan both jumped right out of bed, hopped into the shower and got themselves all ready for the day. They were extra snuggley and huggy - I do wonder how many more days like this I'll have...where they won't be too proud or grown up to seek us out when they are scared or lonely or just need a little extra love.
We had out traditional pancake breakfast and had the pleasure of Dad being off of work this week to join us for this momentous occasion. They were all laughs and smiles as we gave them first day pep talks - remember the rules, don't talk out of turn, be respectful - most importantly I think we told them they are smart and will do a great job a million times.
Before we knew it, it was time to head off to school. After much begging and pleading Ethan let us walk him to class "just for today" because you know it was our last first day of elementary school with him. I mean I feel like it's my right as his mother to get one last first day of school hug and kiss and walk to the classroom door. Both of them knew exactly where they were going and what to do with their backpacks and lunchboxes...I was blinking back tears the whole time trying to not make a scene.
They had a great first day and I'm positive that they are both more than ready for 5th and 2nd grade. Just one more week and Daxton will start kindergarten!
