Yesterday was Hyrum's first day of First Grade. Like any big day in our house, we start it off with blueberry pancakes. He also had an omelet, bacon and orange juice.He looked so handsome yesterday. You could tell that excitement was in the air for him. I love his smile and (most of the time) happy nature.Ben and Emmy were very excited for Hyrum to start first grade.He is still using the same back pack and lunch box from last year. However, he did get new shoes.I think Hyrum has grown so much lately.Hyrum was so excited to meet some friends to walk to the first day of school with. All four of the kids are first graders this year.One of Hyrum's friends, Lexi, is in his class. I think the transistion to first grade and a new school was much easier since he has so many friends at the school and one of those friends are in his class.Hyrum's new teacher seems very nice and sweet. I think she will be Hyrum's new crush. Hyrum was pretty excited when she asked a hug from him after he came in the class.When we left him, he seemed a little nervous. However, he got straight to work on his worksheet.Below is a picture of some of the lonely leftovers .I haven't mentioned it on the blog yet, but we moved...Again. This time we moved not only to have more space for our next addition, but mostly for our sweet Hyrum. He had a fantastic teacher last year, but the other children in the class and school weren't the best environment for Hyrum. As his parents, Brandon and I thought it was in his best interest to move him to a different school and be closer to more friends.
When I would ask him how he felt about school starting Hyrum told me that he was both happy and sad. He was happy to see friends at school, but sad to leave his family.
Overall, I think his first day went really well. He came home excited and anxious to share about his big first day. I had cookies that Ben, Emmy and I made that day ready for a snack after school. I still have the fears that I had last year, but I am pretty optimistic that first grade will be a great year for him.
