Colton Does First Grade

Me: I loved first grade; I bet you're excited.
C: I'm most excited about 9th grade.
Me: Yeah?  Why 9th?
C: Because then I can go to college! 
Me: You've gotta get through 12th grade, kiddo.
C: WHAAAAAT?!

C: And I hope we get to ride rockets this year!

Totally digging the bow-tie he put on

Me: Do you think any of your friends from last year will be in your class this year?
C: I hope they're all in Bridger's class so I can have some peace and quiet. 
LOL!

And now back to his happy place.

Update: great first day!  He has a couple of friends in his class from last year, and he was excited to have two PE classes a week, as well as two recesses a day.  Sounds like a good start.
