1st Grade Here I Come

I see a little boy with a twinkle in his eye,

sparks of energy ready to explode in every direction,

like a firework in the night sky.

I see a little boy full of nervous wonder.

What will the day hold?

Will I make new friends?

Will I like my teacher?

And as I leave him there to discover and explore his new surroundings,

I pray that God will guide his spirit,

keep his mind safe, and protect him

from all the ugliness that the world holds.

I pray that the twinkle never fades,

that the sweetness in his spirit holds strong,
and that he will walk away a better person.

I love you my little man, never forget that. And never forget Jesus!

Love, Mom.

Jason's first day of 1st grade!

I desperately held back the tears as I walked out of Mrs. Cern's 1st grade classroom and left my nervous, but very excited, little boy to attend his first day of school. I can't believe I already have a 1st grader.
