I love the beginning of the new school year. It holds so much promise. Yesterday was our first day with students and it was wonderful watching them stream into the building sporting new hair cuts, dressed in the latest fashion, showing off their brand new Dora backpacks. There are always some tears. But mostly smiles and excited voices. Parents lining the entrance way coaxing a toothless smile from their Kindergartner. Fifth graders rolling their eyes at the ridiculous scene mom is making with her Cannon. It always strikes me how big the children look after they return from a few weeks of summer bliss.
A new school year is like a blank canvas. There is nothing on the walls, nothing in the plan books. Just a fresh, clean canvas. All yours. Just waiting for you to create a new masterpiece.
Yep. I love the the beginning of a new school year. It's a fresh start. A chance to make a difference all over again.

YAY for new school years! LOVE them too! I was one of those coaxing the 5th grader to smile in front of the sign! He was momentarily "too cool for school" but I finally got one. That pic in front of the tree is mandatory for every kid every year in our family. I'm going to make Nick stand out there before we move him to his dorm too! <3 Welcome back Cab Lover! Happy to see you!
ReplyDeleteGotta love the 'mommy pics'. I have found that the kids appreciate them once they leave home! Hope your summer was marvelous! Thanks for supporting my blog (and me, of course)!
