FIRST time at his own back-to-school night where he meet his new Kindergarten teacher. He had so much fun looking around the room for his name, putting his school supplies where they needed to go and talking to his teacher. He is very excited to finally be going to school.
FIRST time cutting his own hair. The day after back-to-school and the day before the first day of school, while I was getting some much needed end of summer cleaning done, Jamison did this number:
Oh the tears. First from my very excited reaction, then from seeing in the mirror what he had really done and lastly late that night when I had to shave his little head because of the really close cut he had done. Sometimes in life the consequences of our actions are really hard. In this case that is very true. He went to bed crying, saying that he didn't like himself, he was afraid that people would laugh at him, etc. It was ripping my heart out! I only pray that this lesson learned goes much deeper than just hair.
I am grateful that he has a very nice round shaped head- he looks pretty different, but still cute as ever! Also his FIRST buzz cut!
FIRST time walking into school.
FIRST time being in a classroom. We didn't do any kind of pre-school with Jamison. For him we just did an amazing playgroup last year. It was just what he needed. However he is very excited to be at school and is ready to learn new things.
FIRST day riding the bus. His first day of school I took him, but on the second day he wanted to ride the bus. He asked if we could get to the bus stop early (the park) so he could play before school. Jamison and Everett were in heaven having dad push them on the swings. Then the bus came and he quickly got his backpack on and jumped on. He is growing up so fast!!!
