Yesterday was Ryder's first day of school and it couldn't have gone better...
The night before we had everything ready, from setting our his clothes (he wears a uniform...) to getting his lunch ready and his back pack packed and his gift ready for his teacher:
The note for his lunch...
His teacher's "Survival Kit":
Then we had our back to school dinner:
And we prayed a blessing from Joshua 1:9 over him...
(Our church made these for our us... Have I mentioned how much I love our church?)
On the morning of, we took all our traditional pictures:
Then we all got to drop him off together!
His teacher greeted everyone so sweetly!
Ryder was still feeling a little shy but flashed her his little smile...
He was so cute and looked so small but I could see in his eyes as he was taking it all in, that he was really excited about it. I know that we have an amazing kid and I know that he will have an incredible year! Oh but time, if you could please slow down, I would really appreciate it!
