First Day In The Second Grade

Today was the first day of school for Adam! As I was typing the title for this post I had to stop and remind myself that Adam really is in the second grade this year! It just doesn't seem possible that he is old enough for the second grade. Where has the time gone? He picked his entire outfit (not my personal first choice, but I didnt fight it) and also insisted on getting a messenger style book bag this year. He must have seen one somewhere and thought it was cool?

Adam was worried about leaving Colton all day. I guess he doesn't have much confidence in me being alone with his baby brother.
Colton was obviously excited about the big first day of school. He slept through the whole goodbye.
I had a gift for Adams teacher and it was all wrapped up in a pretty bag. When I told Adam he needed to carry it in to his teacher he got all upset. He literally got teary eyed and told me it was "really embarrassing" to carry the gift through the school hallway. I felt so bad for him. I had these visions of the school bully picking on him and beating him up because he was carrying a pink gift bag in the hallways. So, I parked the car...got Colton out of his car seat...and walked the gift to the teacher myself. I think this was equally embarrassing for Adam and he was probably wishing he would have just carried the bag himself. This also gave me the opportunity to embarrass Adam even more by getting his picture with his new teacher.

Doesn't she look so cute and cheery in her bright yellow skirt! And here is what she got in her gift bag...
Post It Note Holder - She got the purple one.

And a decoupaged clip board. This is a picture of one I made for myself. I put her name on hers, but forgot to get a picture.

After we left Adam's school, we headed over to LU. Today was the first day of classes and my Dad was the guest speaker for the first convo of the school year along with Children of the World!

Colton and Prava during the concert. It is funny how every little noise at home will wake Colton up, but he slept like a baby through the LOUD music at the concert.

Colton and the COTW team. You can hardly see little Colton in the middle of all these cute kids. Lastly, I wanted to address that we have realized that Colton is a genius and exceptionally gifted! Just kidding people! Actually, he has been rolling over since he was 2 weeks. I am serious, he really has. I have tried to get it on video several times but I always miss it. It is crazy to watch because he looks so little to be doing it. I am going to keep trying to get it on video because I know you all think I am lying. He also started smiling this weekend. I tried to get it on camera, but this is all that turned out because I was trying to get him to smile and then take the picture too...and...well...I cant do 2 things at once.
