I didn't want to, but I got up at 6:45am and got in the shower.  I normally take showers in the evening, but I fell asleep early.   I picked out what I wanted to wear to school, ate breakfast, and put on my school backpack.

Today was the first day of third grade and we had to take pictures.

 We also took pictures at the bus stop.  Alyssa, Cole, Jay, Mason, and Julian.   Xavier was missing because he now is in middle school.  Jay is the new boy.

 

Some parents seeing bus off.

I took the questionnaire that my third grade teacher wanted my mom to fill out.  It was about me: my strengths, weaknesses, favorite things to do, what motivates me, etc.

The bus arrived at 7:25am, which is earlier that it came last year.

I liked school but didn't have anything to say about my day.  I just wanted to go play.

Here are the four posters I had on the first day of K, first, second, and third grades.

 Catherine has found her thumb.  She doesn't want a pacifier.    Grandma says, "None of her children wanted a pacifier.  Christina was our bed-wetter, Andy was the crier, and Bridget was a thumb sucker."   I didn't use a pacifier either. Anna Kate liked her pacifier.  Bradley didn't use one for very long.
