Kai is a FIRST GRADER!


Well, if official...I'm a mom with a full-on KID now! Kai started 1st grade on Tuesday and it was very exciting for all of us. I seriously cannot believe that my little baby boy is in FIRST GRADE! Where has the time gone? He looks so grown-up (especially with short hair which I'm never growing out again cause I love it) and he seems way taller now, too. Anyhow, his first day was great. He said it was really long, cause it was, but that he like it and had fun. Each day he loves it more, too. He is such an observant little boy and I think now that he is getting his footing in the "big kid part of school" he is so happy! I could not be more proud of Kai. He loves to learn and he loves school (he gets that from Jared). Now I just have to get used to the whole process of dropping off, picking up, car lines, etc, etc. I think first grade might be more overwhelming for me than Kai.
I just love watching Kai grow and become an amazing little guy. It brings me to tears at times. I am just so so proud of him!!
