Back to school

No I am not a teacher, nor do I have a school aged child yet but today, there is something refreshing and new about the very first day of school. Since I work at a residential treatment center with an on campus school I get to enjoy this momentous occasion somewhat and I can't deny that it brings me back to days of new teachers, no cloths and shoes and a whole new world of endless possibilities. Ahh, the joys of being a kid- if only we knew then what we know now!

I am sitting at my computer, eating my breakfast and watching Noah play. He is creating a dialogue where ( as I can make out) Truck is getting ready to go Night Night. What an imagination of this little guy. I wish I could bottle him up and keep him like this forever, a tiny little man. I wonder what he will be like in four short years when it is time for him to make that trek off to school. He starts daycare this week...that is bad enough!
