best big brother ever

4th grade started this week.  Kindergarten for Miss A started too.  As excited as she's been to get herself going, he's been even more excited to get her going.  This is the first of likely the only 2 years ever, that they'll be in the same building for school.  He's making the most of it. 

He's such a great big brother. 

Making sure she's been ok at the bus stop, getting a seat on the bus in the morning (credit to Ms Woods for making sure she gets a wave before pulling away), getting to her classroom, and even handling after-school REC with great aplomb. 

Even after school, when recounting her day, he's there to make sure she got everything right (almost like he's shadowing her all day)

As Kim likes to point out, they're Tom & Jerry lately.  One second the best of friends, the next they're at each others' throats.  He continues to grow more and more every day into a wonderful young man.  we're so proud of him, everything he's accomplished, and everything he's looking forward to doing.
