Adam had his first day of school today. He woke up before his alarm went off and was very excited to start his day.

The rest of us spent the day running errands.

One of the things on our to-do list was a haircut for Luke. He cried the entire time. Then he cried when it was over because he wanted it shorter. Then he stopped crying and said, “Wow! My hair looks like Papa’s!” After that revelation, he was all smiles.

We were home in plenty of time to meet Adam at the bus. He had a great first day and told us that his new teacher might be even nicer than his kindergarten teacher. That’s a pretty high compliment in my book, since his teacher last year was wonderful.

We had picked up a cookie cake earlier, to continue the tradition we started last year. Adam was pretty excited about his after school snack.

And just for comparison’s sake, here is the first day of kindergarten versus today.

What a difference a year makes!
