Today Dallin started first grade. I've had mixed feelings about it for the past few weeks. There have been moments when I couldn't WAIT to send him off and then there were times I couldn't help but tear up thinking about him being gone all day long. 
Be as it may I have a first grader and I am trying to embrace it. He is growing up and as hard as that is for me to admit, I know that he is going to be just fine. He wasn't worried or afraid. He has been looking forward to going back to school ever since the day he got out in June. I think knowing how much he loves school makes it a little easier.....on me anyways.

I am sure things will get easier once Parks starts preschool in a few weeks.
Dallin likes his teacher and knew a couple of kids in his class from last year. When I asked him if it was okay if I left the classroom his response was, "You can go whenever you are ready Mom." Yeah....I guess hanging around the class really was more for ME then for him.
I cried the whole way home.

Yeah, it is always Mom that has the harder time. I am here for you babe! I just got Planet Kid coupons so we can go entertain our little ones that are still home with us!
I LOVE the picture at the top of your blog, so adorable.
I love your new header pic too! And how exciting that your first grader is lovin' life...I'm dreading the day myself, more for the little sisters than the big girl! They will be so bored without their director of creative work!
I can't believe you have a 1st grader Stacy!!! You are such a grown up :) At least he loves school. What more could you ask for?!
Wow time flies! I remember a friend I had in first grade. It was sad she moved away, but good news we're still great friends!!! I hope Dallin can find a friend as good as the one I have! Cute Blog Stac!
Oh so cute, I love how he told you you could go whenever you were ready, what a sweet kid. I am sure I will be exactly the same with Halle. You are such a cute mom those pictures are great.
Isn't it funny how hard it is for us mom's and sometimes for the kids it's a breeze? But hey, I would rather that than the other way around. My mother-in-law had to sit in one of her son's kinder classes for a few months, NO JOKE! He was her youngest and adopted so there were other attachment issues, but can you imagine what that would be like?
