First Day of 3rd Grade

This was a big month for Christian...if you can't tell...he also started 3rd grade on August 20th. He got into a class with 2 of his Primary buddies, that coincidentally also live in our neighborhood. (do you see the trend...we are loving the Sabre Springs area...its a perfect fit for us). He was hardly nervous for his first day. His teacher is a cute older (I don't mean old...just not fresh out of college) lady and she seems to know what she is doing and very kind. She came up to me after the first day and said that she could not believe that this is Christian's first day at Creekside (being he was likely the only new student in the class), because he was so well-adjusted. She also paid him a sweet compliment saying he was one of the sweetest boys...as a mom, that warms my heart=) This transition into a new school has gone seemlessly...so far...I don't want to jinx anything after our experience with getting in at all=) He seems happy...and he seems to be keeping pace okay with the prior-experienced-CA-kids...and he loves the differences in the lunch-time/recess routines. All is good. And the 5-7 minute walk to and from school with all the neighborhood friends is great (unless its 106 degrees like it was last week...my contracting belly did not like that).

So cute. Glad he's adjusting so well. He's such a big kid now!
