First days and birthdays

Second grade.  Geez, I’m old.

This is what Ryder was doing before I forced him to pose for his First Day pictures.  It’s 7:30am, mind you.

My baby headed off to kindergarten today.   Walked right in.  Didn’t need me.  Didn’t miss me.  Apparently I cramp his style.

It’s also Ryder’s 8th birthday.  But he’s not too excited about turning 8 yet.  We won’t have his party for a few weeks.  He wanted to wait until after school had started, presumably to make some more friends.  Which means he could invite more friends.  Which means  more presents.  He’s a genius.
