First day of school

My giant 3rd grader!  He went back to school today, which really wasn't that big a stretch due to summer school running for all but a few weeks.  He has a sharp new haircut, new uniforms with the seams glued down to (hopefully) prevent anxiety picking, and new shoes that fit two weeks ago when we bought them and already need replacing within another couple weeks (no jokes, he can't get them on by himself anymore.)  He is 54 1/2 inches tall and will probably be taller than that by the time I hit "publish."

We are very lucky to have the same skills trainer, Mr. Mike, and the same special needs teacher joining us again this year.  That will certainly ease the transition.  New mainstream class, but a lot of the same students from last year.  He has worked so hard this summer, I hope it shows.
