My First 1st Grader

Yesterday, Cooper started his first grade year at Freedom Elementary. This year Cooper has a new teacher, Mrs. Engstrom. She seems to be very nice. She is new to Freedom but has been teaching the last 10 years.

Cooper hopped right out of bed yesterday morning when I told him it was time to get up. He said, "Today's my first day of school." He got dressed, ate his favorite breakfast (pancakes), spiked his hair, took a picture, and we headed to school.

As we walked into the school, Cooper ran up to the principal to say hello and give him a high five. After that, we finally made it to his classroom where we took some more pictures, helped Cooper hang up his backpack and then hugged him goodbye (trying to fight back the tears). As we walked out to the car, Clayton kept asking, "Where cooper go?" I have a feeling its going to be a long year.....for Clayton too!

He is so cute! He seems so much older than a first grader.

The boys are getting so big! I love it when the younger sibling(s) are old enough to wonder where big brother/sister have gone once school starts up again. So cute! Hope Coop has a great year!
