Twas the night before school...

And off to his classroom we went.
"Brigg are you excited to meet your teacher?"
I said as his shoulders went limp.

"No I am not,
I don't want summer to end."
Well you don't have a choice,
On this topic I am not going to bend.

So we went to "Back to School Night"
dragging his feet in his brand new shoes.
He looked at the class lists
and found his name in the class of Mrs. Kidoo!

"Ok, maybe I am a little excited,"
he said with a small smirk.
He had hoped he'd get this teacher,
and I guess his prayers worked! :)

So as I said, "It's time for bed,
get your clothes all set out!"
He climbed under the covers
and he didn't even pout!

I know, I know. Cheesy. But I couldn't resist. I'm a bit giddy tonight.
Although I'm not ready for the lazy days of summer to end, I am ready to get into a routine.
First grade is so important. I remember first grade SO vividly.
I had an awful teacher. She was a very angry woman and I'm really not sure why she was a teacher.
So I am very relieved that Brigg is getting such a great first grade teacher! I have subbed for her classroom and I can tell you, she's got her stuff together. He is going to love her. BUT, she IS a Cubs fan. She said they might go head to head.
She has no idea. No idea at all.
So tomorrow it is. We'll walk him to school (no bus this year!), and then it'll just be the girls.
Lani still has a coule more weeks until school starts. Looking forward to some one on two time with them.
And I'm so looking forward to seeing Brigg continue to grow and change this year...he really is an amazing little boy.
Here's to a great 2008-2009 school year!
