We met Luke's teacher, Mrs. Durst, who seems like a low key, gentle lady, at meet the teacher last week. This is Luke's first year upstairs at school. Gibbs is laid out kind of like a split level house with a walk-out in the back. There is only one level accessible from the front of the building, but two stories in the back. This year he's in the back, in the second story.
Luke was very excited to see that a few of his best buddies from last year were in his class again and that he's even at a desk grouping with two of them.
As I started mentioning school in mid-August, Luke pretty much ignored me, which I took as a not-so-good sign. But, once the week before school came, he was super excited for meet the teacher and even more excited after. He kept saying all of Labor Day weekend that he wished school would start tomorrow.
The first day came and he did not show any hesitation. He and his cousin, Ethan, had started walking to and from school last spring, so they picked up where they left off and walked to school without a hitch. No tears this year!
Luke and Ethan were also pretty excited that this year the second and third graders eat lunch together and have recess together. So, Luke gets to see Ethan and another friend in second grade more throughout the day:)

| Oh, how I love that sweet face. I wonder how many teeth he'll lose and gain this year??? |

In addition to Luke's first day of school, we parents also had a little assignment to complete for Mrs. Durst.
Brent did a beautiful job of describing Luke and I hope it helps Mrs. Durst connect with him quickly:)
(I also loved seeing an entire page in Brent's handwriting. I feel like we hardly see hand written notes from people in our lives anymore.)
Here's to a great third grade year, Luke!
