FIRST GRADE! I have a child in FIRST GRADE!

I cannot believe that nearly 6 years of crazy long sleepless nights have come to THIS MOMENT!

He likes to remind me that his preferred name is Fitzy. He’s only Fitzgerald when he’s in trouble.

He still loves the color orange – but he likes to be silly – so he wrote orangey!

His favorite movie has changed each year – this year – Journey to the Center of the Earth – the cheesy made-for-television one!

His favorite food remains pizza – although he loves ALL THE FOOD!

He has wanted to be a chef since he was TWO! I believe that he will be one someday!

This year – he will be at school EVERY WEEKDAY – ALL DAY! Last year – he only went to Kindergarten 3 days a week – and I must say – I am missing having his sweet soul home with Enoch and I! BUT – he LOVES school! He loves reading his Bible verses!

He loves packing his lunch and packing his book-bag. He is a rule follower and prefers to do his homework NOW instead of later. He loves his friends and loves his teacher – a teacher that his dad had in grade-school!

Fitzy – you are kind. You are smart. You are BEAUTIFUL! YOU WILL CHANGE THE WORLD!
