Dekker’s First Day of GRADE TWO!!!

Dekker turning seven felt just insane, but Dekker entering grade two is a whole other thing!! I know the two things often go hand in hand but, my goodness, he’s growing up. He’s no longer testing the waters of school. He isย in it! Kindergarten was the kick off, grade one was the start of full time school, and now, he’s just an old pro! He knows the ropes. He knows the people. He knows his way around the building and the playground. He knows the expectations.

Still feels crazy, though.

I haven’t had a chance to mention it, but yes! My boy lost one of his top front teeth! Isn’t it hilarious?! I LOVE his new look! We were eating cinnamon buns the other morning when I noticed Dekker was bleeding out of his mouth a little. I asked if he had lost a tooth and he looked at me blankly. He had no idea the sucker was even loose!

Thanks for this one, Cher!

The one beside it is on its way out, too! Hopefully before picture day!!!!ย ๐Ÿ˜†

We walked Dekker to school as a family. Thankfully, Brady has some time off this week while we settle into our new school routine. We got there a little early, even, so we could find his classroom with lots of time for him to run back outside to play.

Dekker was greeted warmed by one of his teachers upon finding his classroom and dropping off his backpack. He’ll have two teachers this year, alternating days. He didn’t know her, but was polite and unafraid. What a strong, brave boy I have. SO proud!

It didn’t hurt my heart to drop him off. I am SO proud of him, and SO confident that he’s going to do well.

I love you, Dekker!!! I hope you’re having an AMAZING first day! See you soon!
