How he really feels about it!

5th grade

Beautiful first day! 

I am so glad to be back on a traditional schedule. Although there are benefits to both schedules, traditional just feels right. Long, lazy summers then school in the fall.

I am a bit of a nerd. But fall and going back to school was one of my favorite times. New boxes of crayons. Sharply pointed pencils with a full, round erasers emitting a slight "pink" rubber smell.. New stiff, shoes. Reams of paper with no writing in it.

I am not a parent that relishes sending my kids off. We never quite have enough time together. However, there is something to be said about a schedule and moving forward to the next stage.
