My Big 1st Grader

It is here. The count down to the first day of school. We went to meet the teacher last night, it was great. Logan's First Grade teacher seems awesome, he thinks she is going to be nice. That is good.
We walked down the hall, his class is the last one on the right side, by the door. They had a huge banner hanging up that said "WELCOME First Graders!" That was it...I was all teary-eyed. He did not see, but dad did and he chuckled. We found his room, and there are about 4 boys from his kinder class in his homeroom. So that comfort zone is going to be there. He played in the class and looked around at all the stuff while dad and I talked with Mrs. S. We were alone in the class with her for a few minutes so we were about to discuss him. We stressed how involved we are and we want her to know we are there to back her. Logan read the class room rules and consequences, there was a line for his name, I made him sign it as he will be the one responsible for following them.
After that we took a trip down memory lane (kinder hall). Saw the teachers and helpers it was great. Then we ran into one of his counselors from summer camp...2 yrs ago. She is the daughter of one of the kinder teachers. We talked for a while, and she was able to give me the number of another one of the guys Jacob. Logan loved him. So we have contacted him and he is going to try to come watch Logs at TKD..Logan is excited about that.
So off to Boot Camp. This was Ray's first time, our 2nd. We had a blast, it is a little easier for us since we don't know all the kata's (forms) we get a little breather, but then the sparring started. It is so awesome in this class. We are sparring other adults, they help train us and just beat up on us. Ray and I have sparred 2 times this week in class with full pads. That is by far the best, we hit each other a little harder, and I think we are more comfortable with each other. The class is a butt-whippin...I won't lie, but it is so much fun. I would like to switch to it, but we may wait until this fall/winter when it is much cooler!
So off to the doctor and spending the day with my boys having fun before school starts! Love to all and for those sending the kiddos back to school - Good Luck!
