getting ready

School start up, among other things, is so different here. The middle school and high school have a "materials pick up day" where you take in all your supplies, pick up any supplies you may have purchased through the school, find your locker, walk your schedule, and take pictures. I really like it. It helps a little with first day jitters. 

Carson had a materials drop off day as well. We met his teacher, Mrs. DeMien. She seems nice. Carson introduced himself as CJ. He's been wanting to go by CJ for awhile now. This is the year! I even introduced him to another mom and remembered. :)

When we chose his name our intent was to call him CJ. We just never did.
