Today was the first day of school in West Chester. We walked both Tytus and Hannah to the bus stop with our digital camera snapping photos as fast as we could. The kids are growing up way too fast and we were trying to slow down time by taking as many pictures as possible.
For me, the first day of school is always a proud moment as a parent. It is just another moment when I realize God has blessed us with two great kids who are fully prepared to engage in the education process. They are both caring, bright, and fun. In my book, they’re the best!
Hannah is jazzed about 3rd grade. By now she knows the ropes and will be the classroom leader by lunch. Tytus starts Jr. high today and he’ll be roaming the halls with confidence. I have to admit that this transition makes me a little nervous. I remember starting Jr. high like it was yesterday. I even remember the list of things that made me nervous. Tytus has embraced the it and I fully expect him to continue to excel as a student and as a leader. I love my kids and I am big time proud of them!
I have to be honest when I also admit that I’ll miss them running in and out of the office today. It brings a lump in my throat just thinking about it…
Tom,
I was pleasantly surprised by Ty’s response to me the other day when I asked him if he was nervous about starting Junior High. He said: “Nope, I’m pumped, it’s gonna be awesome”.
I’m praying that his experiences & successes allow him to maintain that outlook!
