4th Grade

How did that happen? How did he grow so quickly and turn into a 4th grader? Where have the years gone? Did I just blink and he is 9 1/2 years old? I am not sure but I do know how much we love him.
In our front yard getting ready to get in the car. And, those flame shoes were the biggest hit. We have searched for those in his size for the last 18 months. With me being sick, we did all of his school shopping in one afternoon. When we saw one pair of these at Kohl's and they were in his size, I felt so blessed and so looked after. I didn't have the energy to keep searching and here these beloved shoes were at the first store we stopped at. I immediately said a prayer of gratitude in the store for these shoes. And, Yes, he does love them so very much!
Transformers backpack... we did so much shopping on line this year...heavenly!
Hayden walking through the front doors to the school. This is his seventh year through this door, considering he went to pre-school for two years here before starting kindergarten. So, in his seventh year at this school, he is getting so comfortable and really loves it. It was our smoothest transition yet!
His 3rd grade class with Mrs. Fett, created this entry poster for reading. They all loved reading the Magic Treehouse series. Good books.
I think it helped that he spent so much time with Mr. Arius, his 4th grade teacher, getting ready for the Summer Toy Drive and Hayden helped him work his booth during the carnival. So far, so good! He loves his teacher, school and all the kids in his class. It was a great day!
