Tyler's First Day of 4th Grade

Tyler is now in 4th grade!  Wow!  To say Tyler was excited for school would be a huge understatement.  He LOVES school and was so so excited.
He got his annual pictures taken by the door and was not too happy that the girls (mainly Megan) wanted to join his picture.  Megan loves him so much and lately Tyler just tolerates her.  She does a good job of driving him crazy and bugging him often.
We walked around the school and decided to have the boys meet at the painted map on the ground after school so they could walk home together.  After that we walked behind Tyler (because he was walking so fast and acting like he knew where he was going and didn't need any help) to his line.  The boys let  me take a picture and then off we went with Josh leaving Tyler to be big by himself.
It's kind of sad to think that he doesn't really need me to help him to school anymore.  He hasn't really needed my help for a few years now.  Luckily I still have three others that need me, for now.
Tyler said that he had a great first day and knows most of the kids in his class.  He even volunteered to get up and do times tables and read a paragraph he wrote.  He said he did cry both times, but just a little and he was very brave.  His teacher even gave him a prize for being brave.  Look like Tyler is going to have a great year!
