Jordan is officially a 3rd Grader!

Gigi takes Jordan to school, how blessed am I about that! She is kindergarten teacher at Jordan's school, so they go in together, he loves it! Here they are on their very first day!
~ Always a very serious boy on the first day back ~
Today kicked off the first day of school for Mr. Jordan Toledo. He was actually quite excited, he got up at 6 o'clock and didn't have to leave the house until 7:25. It is a brand new year in the third grade for Jordan. He will have the first year of expanded learning which means he will go to school from 7:55 until 3:55, I know it sounds like a work day. He will have gym everyday for 30 minutes and a special elective (computers, library, spanish) daily and 30 minutes lunches as opposed to last years 20 minutes. He isn't too thrilled about the longer day, I have to honestly say I kind of am after this long summer full of sibling fights and whining and yelling (not that the whole summer was like that but most of it was). I think the day sounds longer then it really will seem. They will have more fun activities and there is no homework policy which is cool. Once they leave school, they leave it all at school!
He also will have 2 teachers, instead of just 1, because both teachers just had babies and decided to try job sharing. So he will have Mrs. Knox, Monday-Tuesday and half of Wednesday and Mrs. Knickerson the remaining part of the week. Aren't you glad you know that information, now?
I'm wishing Mr. Jordan an awesome, fun and adventurous new school year in third grade.
I can't believe my first born baby boy is now a third grader! It is alot to take in. When I look at him at night while he sleeps,and I give him a kiss on his forehead as he is peacefully dreaming, I think back to this little baby almost 9 years ago. I miss this little baby so much
but I know I can't live in the past and must embrace the kind, at time stubborn, caring, very bright intelligent, well-mannered little guy he has become.

Love You Beautiful Boy
(these last 2 pictures were taken professionally by Mr. Maxwell David Toledo, 4 years old, what a profesh he already is with the camera! He took these yesterday as Jordan read a Spiderman chapter book to us.)
