A Day of Firsts

Me: Jeffrey, you wore that shirt last year on your birthday. Don't you want to wear a different one?
Jeffrey: No, mom. I still like it.
Me: Could you change into a different one for your picture?
Jeffrey: No. I still like it. It can be the same.

This week we celebrated Jeffrey's sixth birthday. It's still unreal. My six year old!

We started off early and made him breakfast in bed with all his favorite foods. Tyson and I took it in--me singing happy birthday, and him playing it on the kazoo.

We had to get going pretty early, because it was also the first day of first grade, and it starts way too early (8:05). This new schedule is going to rock my world. We don't even have breakfast until 8 AM typically. Things are going to have to change around here. . .

Not at all excited, right?

Jeffrey was especially excited, when I told him that morning, that Daddy was starting his first day of work the same day that Jeffrey was starting the first day of school. He just got the hugest smile on his face. He adores Tyson and wants to be just like him.

Tyson dropped us off at Jeffrey's elementary then drove to work as I walked him in. His teacher was all ready for his birthday.

And then I had to squash two kids in my stroller to walk home since Xi somehow snuck into the van without any shoes on. This was just too cute. The same little eyes.
