Clean clothes, teeth brushed, hair combed must be first day of school.....

The start of school means all sorts of emotions, let's see if you can notice the difference between students attending for the first time and students entering sixth grade....

Samuel sixth grade...

Orion fourth grade...

And Elijah Kindergarten..

My conclusion of the situation, the smiles seem to fade with the advancement of age.

Orion was excited to have a friend from soccer and football in his class, new to this school.  Samuel entered his classroom and found that the back row had a seat saved just for him, thanks to his three buddies.  We'll see how long that seating arrangement last.
