First day of 3rd grade

Braeden started 3rd grade last week! He was pretty nervous about it this year. He got a new lunch box because we decided he had grown out of CARS. :) Of course he woke up way too early.


This year he decided he was too big to have his picture taken getting on the bus, but thankfully his bus driver didn't agree and he made him turn around and give me a smile.

I wanted him to stand in front of the front door for a picture, but the farthest he would go was in front of the tree. I think he was afraid to lose sight of the corner in case the bus came... or maybe he was just super annoyed that I was making a big deal. :)

His new teachers name is Miss Day. I swear she is barely 12. She has already sent me home homework 3 days now. Braeden hasnt had any. :) And Apparently we have to sign his day planner every night. I can't wait to see how that works out. (sarcasm font)

Thje classroom theme is "team" and she gave them a list as long as my arm of all the "fouls" they can get with bad behavior or not turning in homework. I had to tape it up on the cabinet for reference.

We are looking forward to a great year though. He has lots of different kids in his class this year and seems to be making friends. Also the "mean boys" from the bus last year are gone this year so thats one less thing I'll be stressing about.

Braeden is also looking forward to trying out for a travel baseball team this year. I told myself I would never let him do that, but he did sooooo well last season and a few of the other parents even emailed me and told me he should. We'll see if he makes it though.
