First Game Day (and a flashback)

A fun comparison: John's first game day in 2008 and Matthew's first game day in 2011:

First Day of School of MDO - 2011

Today was John's first day of MDO for 2011. It started out a little touch and go, but once it was game time, he walked in with a smile. Such a difference from the first day last year.

This year he is at a new MDO and I have the warm fuzzys about this place and I think he does too. His best little buddy Garrett is in his same class, so I think that helps easy the transition. They expect a lot of them in this class and they keep promising that they are probably more responsible and capable of doing more things than we give them credit for.... we shall see... :)

He looks like such a big boy to me. I still have 2 more school-years at home with him, but I know I am going to turn around and those 2 years will be gone. I hope to do my best to soak it all in now while I can.

I missed him so much today. Just being away from him for a few hours while he was there, I could not stop thinking about him and what he was doing and if he was making friends and talking to the teachers and having fun and saying thank-you and...and...and...

Here is a quick picture:
