First day of 1st grade

This morning Nathan was already complaining that he doesn't want to go to school. I told him that we couldn't start dragging his feet about going to school on the first day of 1st grade already! He has twelve more years of school. I can't listen his whining and complaining every day I told him.

Later that morning when they were all climbing in the van for the ride to daycare, I remembered that I did not take Nathan's first day of school picture. I made him unbuckle his seatbelt and get out. He was asking why he needs his picture taken on the first day of school. I told him that I am going to take his picture on the first day of school every year. He asked in awe, "Even when I am in the sixth grade?" I told him that I would take a picture every year, "even when you are in high school." He seemed amazed by that.
