Hudson, all smiles and ready to be a big leader in his class.
Major opted out of the picture and seeing as this was his first time to go to school ever, I did everyone a favor, and allowed him to skip the picture.
Walking into the building and I'm just noticing my enormous shadow. That's me with backpacks and shopping sacks filled with large amounts of school supplies.
I decided to drop Hudson off first so we're heading upstairs to his class. He did perfect and just skipped on in there like a pro. Proud of him! What a change from last year! They grow up fast for sure. I think Major is all smiles in this picture because, so far, this just seems to be like our old routine. After we dropped Hudson off, we walked down stairs to Major's class. The only problem was that Major turned to walk out the door like we usually do instead of going to his class. Oops! He was way caught off guard when we turned around and went to his class. Poor little guy thought it was time to head out with mama. His teachers said that he did great after I left.
The end of a successful day! They both did awesome and it was so refreshing for me too. I could tell Hudson loves his class and he's more mature this year. He really seems to be turning into a big helper. I feel so good about where he is.
The last thing that was awesome that day was when I went home while they were at school. I hadn't been alone in my house, like that, in 4 years!!! Seriously. That's no joke. I have babysitters when I go do something or on dates with Stephen, but to just be in my empty house was refreshing. I had a quiet time in actual quiet. Wow! 'Cause my quiet times should have been renamed "crazy interrupted times." I treasure my little treasures but it was just a nice change. They go to school Monday, Wednesday, Friday from 8:30 - 12:00 so I still get plenty of time with my guys!
