First Day of Middle School

Braden started school yesterday.... finally! (The end of summer sure makes me long for year-round school.) Last week, they had a sixth grade orientation to go over things and allow the kids to tour the building and practice opening lockers. And it sounds like the first day was more orientation. Nevertheless, it seems Braden was awake more than he was asleep the night before! When Jon and I went to bed at 10pm, Braden was still awake in his room. When I got up around 4am (just to go to the bathroom, not to start my day), he was on the couch. He was down there awake when Jon got up at 4:30. And he was laying there awake when I got up a little after 6am. Excited? Anxious? He said no.

This year's first day of school pictures were taken at the end of the school day. In the drama of him not sleeping, and then making sure we were ready on time to pick up Dylan, and getting the boys to school "early," I totally forgot to take his picture! And this is the first year that I didn't pick out a nice-looking outfit for the first day.
So..... I dropped the boys off in the morning and then they rode the shuttle bus to the fifth grade building after school. Sounds like he had a good day and he got more sleep last night!
