I have to admit, I was worried about first grade.
First graders think they are pretty hot stuff. What with staying at school all day,
2 recesses, bringing a lunch, and taking the bus.
So I thought that Henry might lose some of his "henry-ness".
I wondered if he would start to think that maybe a light saber isn't considered an accessory. Or that he would think that the 4 year old neighbor kid isn't cool, even though he is TOTALLY cool. Or that the imaginary play would come to a complete halt. Or, horror of horrors, that he would start begging us for an XBox or a Wii.
Not that I don't want one for David and myself, but you know what I mean. 
But I was wrong.
But I was wrong. I know that the time will come when he will grow up and grow out of this
great phase of childhood.
For the time being I am going to enjoy this 6 year old. The one that asks, first thing off the bus, if he can put on his cowboy shirt
and go play outside.

My heroes have always been cowboys . . . .
All my kids, even Toby and Aspen who are 12 and 10, still play dress up, despite asking for a Wii. They really never grow out of the things they love.
That top photo is so cute. What a little stud. And a cool one in his own right. But not too cool, of course.
He is SO cute! You know what? I like his confidence!! Tanner still digs his tiny tiny cars pajamas and they are like hot pants now. I like that he'll stay young. So, enjoy this time!
Why can't he wear that cute outfit to school? First graders are probably too mean. Darn. There's nothing like a man in turquoise.
I love cowboys too!
so cute.
Henry is such a great kid! I love having him in my class!!!
