Right before we left for that party I thought we should have a little boy photo shoot. Looking back on the wonderful men in my life, I can’t help but notice how much one has grown in just a month. No not Troy, Lincoln (haha so funny)!
Another milestone was my baby boy went to 1st grade!! I was torn up and still cry when thinking about how big he is. He switched schools this year so I was worried how he would like the change. The school is so close that Troy and I were able to walk as a family to take him. On the way to school he met up with a boy in a ward and we all walked together. Standing there waiting for the bell to ring was a moment I was terrified of. I was so overwhelmed by the system and, didn’t know how Gavin would handle it all. The bell rung and all the kids lined up and started the walk to class. Even though the teacher asked us to say good bye at the playground, I did not. I actually walked all the way up to the door where the teacher stood there and said “All right, see you later.” Am I am overprotective mother, yes! Do I not let go very well, yes! Do I care that I seem crazy, no! Will Gavin one day love me for it, probably not but it’s okay!
When Gavin got home he said that the day was long but good. I wanted him to just go off on every detail about school but he didn’t! I have been trying to make him do this everyday since school started but have had no luck! I don’t think this will change and most likely an indication of our future conversations throughout jr. high and high school. I guess I will have to pry myself into his life!
Funny story I don’t want to forget so I need to write it down. I know kids can be mean and it breaks my heart when I even think about someone being mean to Gavin. I do know this will happen throughout his life and I will die a little bit inside each and every time it does. However, I will teach him not to care or be mean back. Gavin told me some kids were playing Star Wars on the playground and he and his friend asked if they could play. In which the mean little boys said “no, we don’t know you.” Then they started to walk away from Gavin and his friend. Gavin then started to follow them and said “haha, you got followed.” I was cracking up when I heard this story but, told him not to do that. I said just say okay too bad, would have been fun. I am just happy he handle it in such a hysterical way! My kid is awesome and I love him!
Here are a few pictures of the twins because, I love them too (and they're so CUTE!!!)
