First day of 1st Grade!

Today Jacob starts 1st grade.  He has been so excited the last few days!
Last night he read this book to us.
 
I just love Levi's excitement :)
Afterwards we all held hands and prayed for a wonderful school year. 
 
Last year we had a back-to-school breakfast, so I thought we'd keep the tradition rolling.
 
I found so many cute {free} printables on Pinterest. 
 
Kris asked how many 1st grade signs do I need.  Can you have too many? :)
 
He loved the little school buses.
 
 
He was so excited when he walked into the kitchen.  And Levi was too! :)
 
This small touch will be inside his lunchbox. 

Ready to go!
 
But first, the obligatory sign picture :)
 

 

 
1st grade!!
 
I got a little teary eyed saying goodbye.  I asked for a hug and he didn't hesitate.  :)
 
And because momma loves a comparison:
What a difference a year makes! 
 
Be blessed Jacob.  I hope your little light shines!

Hope this school year is a-mazing for Jacob. And, no, I don't do tootsie rolls. But I do talk about Mrs. Collins doing it.
