Kyle made it thru his first week....almost!

Here is Kyle on his first day of junior high. Ready and waiting on the porch. I'm sure if we check back in with him in a month, I will be saying come on we are late! but then again maybe not. He seems to be enjoying the new classes and teachers. Science class is ranking on the top.
Rockin' the converse. He wanted these when we were shopping and I said only if you will actually wear them. He agreed to wear them and they sat in his room for months now. I am actually surprised that he did not out grow them since he is growing so much now. They are kinda comic book inspired so I see why he likes them and he told me other kids thought they were cool.
WOW!!! Look how old he looks now....Could be going off to high school! Notice there are no new clothes. He did not want any. Asked him if he needs to buy anything else and he said no not yet?.....
Stop with the picture taking Mom!!!!! He knows that I will take a picture at every occasion so I promised not to get out of the car...Did he really think I was not going to keep taking pictures from the car?
See....still taking pictures. At least he is smiling and laughing with me!
The school has a cool way of letting parents know if their kids are on track. It emails me every day at 5:02 p.m. (yah a weird time!) and gives me grades and homework assignments. Also assignments in the future. I ask every morning and he is still surprised that I know. DUH! So, one of the assignments was to bring a book to class on Friday to silent read and write in your journal. I told him to put the book in on Wednesday. "Mom it is not due until Friday!" annoyed teenage voice here! I said I know but plan ahead so you don't forget! Guess what....didn't listen to mom and no book in his backpack on Friday. I did not remind on Thursday night since I assumed it was done. No more assumptions from me baby! He will be showing it to me in the backpack and I have the computer all to myself this weekend since that is what got taken away!
