First Day of School
August 23, 2011
This little bit of ethereality is brought to you by me.. who couldn’t react fast enough to get a good parting shot this morning, on this, the first day of school. It’s Peter on his new bike (a Rockhopper, very neat). He was so eager to get to school that he just sped off in a blur (really?!). Later he told me it was just because his bike is so fast.
I actually was able to get the obligatory picture of Peter’s first day, the one I take each year in front of the sycamore (the sycamore we planted when he was born, more or less, and the one he refers to as “my tree”), which he agreed to, not even begrudgingly.
The 8th grade version on left, the kindergarten version on right (maybe I didn’t need to say that):

Very cool contrast between photos, even though the kindergarten photo makes him look bigger than he does now. Also pretty cool to know that he’s been riding his bike to school since kindergarten!

Aw….those two pictures side-by-side…that just gets you right there.
