Firsts

Noah had his First Day of First Grade at a new school and a public one at that. It is our First experience with a Year Round School and by default, he is on D Track( which is awesome, because his friends are also on that Track.) Noah met with his Teacher, Miss Snow. She is a First Year Teacher. He found his desk and saw that there were some names he knew from his Primary Class--another First. Noah's Dad, Mom, and Da Vinci, walked Noah to school and that was a REAL FAMILY First.

Noah had his First shot at School Supply Shopping (always my favorite part of the Back to School Season and also the event I missed when he was attending a Private School.) He is a big spender when it is not his money. Target was our Target and School Supplies was the section. An hour later and Rick still waiting in the car, Noah was ready to begin the school year.

I awoke to fix Noah a warm breakfast of scrambled eggs, while Rick took care of some grooming essentials. I thought he looked so handsome. My beautiful baby boy is no longer a baby--he's in First Grade. His Father, Rick, gave him a wonderful Father's Blessing--words of encouragement and hope for us all. Rick, kindly gave me a Blessing as well, that I might be the Mother Noah needs me to be. We began our day out right. It may have not been a First, but it is a rarity. Often we are running around searching for something.

His red backpack and lunch were packed and he was ready to walk and roll on his chariot. It was rather entertaining for our little family. Noah was excited for his day of FIRSTS. Lots of love and good luck my boy.

What I learned from Noah:  Setting all FIRSTS aside...no matter what, he is growing up.
