Back to School

Brax has been letting his hair grow out all summer.  He wouldn't let me cut it until school started.  Last Monday he finally let me cut it and I love his new look!

BEFORE

AFTER

Brax started school on Wednesday, August 15th.  I drove him to school at his request.  I can't believe that he is already in the 3rd grade.  I did have a hard time dropping him off this year because he's been there for me all summer.  If I haven't felt well, which happens a lot during this pregnancy, he'd take care of me.  A lot of days he'd prepare breakfast and lunch for us.  He needed to return to school though.  He was so excited he wanted to leave at 8:15 am and school doesn't start until 9.  He was also up and ready to go by 6 am.  He's such a funny kid!  I let him pick out his school shoes again this year.  They are lightweight and meant for sports.  They are also some fun colors.

DAY 2-I love the colors of this outfit!

 Every year before school starts I get Brax into the eye doctor.  This year was no different.  His prescription bumped up which means he's even closer to legally blind.  Now he's only 1.5 points in the right eye and 1.75 in the left from legally blind.  It's okay though.  They say that kid's eyes change a lot until they hit their teenage years when they're more stable.  The doctor is hopeful that his "lazy eye" will continue to get better.  His new glasses are awesome!  He didn't get them until after the second day of school had ended, but he has them and loves them.  He also pointed out things he could see now with the new ones.
