He's got a new trick...he's been able to do this for a very long time, of course, but only recently has he been able to land it:
And the other night, we went to a school-wide picnic for Easton's new school. The kids were told to wear a certain color shirt based on what grade they'd be going in to so they could meet new friends.
"1st grade!"
It was a good time. We were able to meet quite a few fellow first graders and many of them were going to be new at school next year like Easton.
One family we met were like, "Do you know Emily and Shannon?!" when they heard Easton's name. That was fun. His unique-ish name precedes him! :) I really liked that family and it's fun that their daughter and Easton have a friend in common already.
When school starts, they'll spend the first 2 weeks just evaluating the students finding out which teacher and group of students they'll fit best with. Visual learners with visual teachers if possible and ability groupings between the classes. I'm excited about all of it. The picnic just got us even more excited about the school. The families are awesome and the teachers and their enthusiasm was contagious. They just seem fun and to love teaching and can't wait for school to start again (in less than 3 weeks--boo).
Because the picnic was at "the cool park" after all the introductions and cupcakes we left the picnic shelter to play. Easton made friends with fellow climbers. This might not be a good thing. :)
Check this dude out!
The Amazing Easton was impressing even the moms of other climbers. :) They were all, "I thought ____ was brave!"
Dalton only tried to tackle this smaller one:
We'd talk to other blue shirts here and there as we ran into them on the playground but as it got to be past bedtime we decided to call it a night and head home.
I thought I would miss Easton last year when he was at school every day but I really didn't. He wasn't gone long at all. But this coming year I really think it'll hit me more. He won't be here for lunch! He'll be gone all day every day. Luckily we think this school is going to be a great fit for him. Not much longer before we find out!

I'm excited for his new school, too! I wish we had some of those in our area, but no magnets/charters around these parts! I think both of my super smarties would benefit from it, but for now they'll just have to be the best and brightest of their regular old school.
