Back to School

It's official - my baby isn't a baby anymore! Patrick started middle school today. It feels like just yesterday when he started kindergarten! We woke up early this morning to make sure he was all packed up and ready for his first day. The bus picks him up an hour earlier than the elementary school bus did. It will definitely be interesting to see how he does this school year. I'm hoping he matures a bit and gets out of this funky stage he's in right now. It's like he's stuck in between ages. He still plays with his toys (aka: Action Figures), but he wants to dress and hang out with the "cool" teenagers. It's like he has multiple personalities sometimes! LOL I know he's just trying to figure out where he fits in right now, but it is a challenge for us parents at times. Overall, he's a pretty good kid though and I realize that things could be much worse. Here are some pictures of him on his first day as a 6th grader...
