OK, I know I'm late posting this, but the past few days have been crazy!  So, anyway, Christian started first grade yesterday.  He was SO proud of himself.  A few weeks ago the package of new school clothes I ordered from the children's place arrived and he was SOOOO excited about the clothes that he tried them on that day.  Then last week I took him for new school shoes i told him to pick out what shoes he wanted, HE PICKED OUT 6 PAIRS!!!!  They were all beautiful shoes and they were buy one get on half off, so how can I say no?  It's not like they were toys.  Plus he desperately needed new shoes.  Anyway, the day before school started he got a haircut, and when we got out from the salon he said, uh oh mom, we need to go to the dollar store (now when he was younger I would bribe him that if he was good for his haircut I'd get him a toy from the dollar store), so I figured thats what he wanted.  So I said, why?  He said, well, I don't have any cologne, so I need to go to the dollar store to buy cologne for school to smell nice for all the girls!  HAAAAA.  So i said to myself, YUK, dollar store cologne, but then thought, he's in 1st grade, not 8th!!!!  Soooo, we went to the dollar store. He opened all the different kinds and he picked his favorite.  That night we picked out his clothes for school, and I told him to pick out which shoes he was gonna wear, (I figured he'd pick out his transformers ones), but he picked out his "SMART" shoes, so his teacher would know he was smart, LOLOLOL.  So we go to bed at a decent hour, and next morning I wake him up and went to the living room while I made breakfast.  He was sitting on the couch so cute so I decided to take a picture of the big 1st grader.  So as I was snapping he's yelling at me "MOMMY, YOU CAN'T TAKE A PICTURE OF ME IN MY PAJAMAS ANYMORE, I'M A BIG 1ST GRADER NOW!"  So I said, "oh, excuse me!" lol, He ate breakfast fast, then ran into the bathroom without me yelling at him to get ready, I figured he was playing, nope, he was brushing his teeth and washing his face. Then he went to his room and got dressed, then came out all done. He even brushed his own hair!!!  So we go outside and i take a picture in the front of the house and he started yelling to hurry up cause he can't be late for school.  So we walk to school (only 2 blocks awa) and he had a smile on his face the whole time walking. And we got to the corner of school and the crossing guard crossed us and he said good morning to him and we got to school and he saw all his friends and he was so excited. When the doors opened he kissed me goodbye and walked right in without even looking back. :-(   I surprised him picking him up from school with Ethan, and he told me about his day and how much fun and what a good boy is was, and he was really really shocked himself that he was good, lol. He told me that this year he is going to be good, LOLOLOL, so we'll see! backpack
