The First Day of 5k

In the words of the walrus, "the time has come..." for 5k to begin.  

I have no idea why he looks shorter here than he did on the last day of 4k; guess those first day of school worries are so heavy that they are weighing him down ;)

(P.S. check out that floor under his feet!)

So, he has had a good first week of school.  Tears Monday, Tuesday and today (first day to get out of the car by himself).  There are so many more kids at this school than last year!  And this is our first year with uniforms.  I have worried about his reaction to this for the entire past year, but he has done great.  He has managed to eat a little bit of breakfast each day, which is a big deal for his nerves.  He has not been whiny at night about the next day. 

Here's a look back at the 1st day of 4k.  For the sake of capturing all pertinent info, last year he had an Iron Man backpack and a Spiderman lunchbox.  This year he has a MState backpack and a How to Train Your Dragon lunchbox.  :)

Your continued prayers for his adjustment are appreciated!
