Does anyone else feel like this summer absolutely flew by? As we walked into Cooper’s school for open house, I literally felt like we had just finished. I think they say time moves faster the older you get, so there it is. I’m getting old.
Cooper had his first day of 3rd grade this week and Callan starts his first and last year of preschool next week. My babies aren’t babies anymore, y’all!
As far as first day of school clothes go, I really have no control anymore. There’s no more polos, skinny jeans or button pants that go down without a fight. It’s all dry fit and elastic around here and honestly, I’ve gotten to the point that I don’t mind it anymore. They’re happy! At least the shoes are something we agree on! We did a Rack Room Shoes shopping trip and stocked up, like we’ve been doing every school year. Their great selection and even better prices makes shopping so simple. And come on. I love getting myself some new kicks when I’m in there, too!
Cooper went with a pretty baller pair of Adidas and Callan opted for some easy on Nikes. I was really happy with their picks, since the trend watcher in me knows grays and blacks are big this fall!
The dab may be dead to Cam, but it’s alive and well in our house!
Coop already is loving school and his teacher. He has several friends in his class and he loves the fact that I let him start the week by eating lunchables. I mean, honestly, it was just as much for me to ease back into the morning routine! I miss him incredibly, though. He’s going into a different door at school with all the older kids this year and it’s just hard to believe. Sure, it’s a bit more peaceful without brother wars, but I would rather have them and have him here!
Callan starts school next week, but he’s been asking to go for about a year and a half. He wants to be just like his big brother. We met his teacher and he seemed like he had known her forever. He walked right in and chatted the entire time. He’s so different from Cooper in so many ways and it’s fun to see.
Boys, I may be shedding lots of tears lately, but it’s just hard to send a big piece of your heart out into the world! I know that you will show strength, kindness and courage through this school year and I’m so proud of you both!
