4th grade is down the hall

I forget that Chamberlain is much taller than most 5 year olds.   

He still acts like a 5 year old in fact as we were walking up to the school he grabbed onto my leg for comfort which most 5 year olds would do. He will give me a kiss when I ask even if its in front of his friends and he may just surprise me with one while running past me when I am tending to Harrison or Siri. He gets excited when his show Dinosaur Train or Wild Kratts come on. One of his favorite things to do is listen to the kids place channel on the radio turn it up super loud and jam out in the car with me.  If I am painting my nails with Siri he will ask to have his toe nails painted, no big deal.  

All things a 5 year old likes to do. 

So when we dropped him off at school I had been so nervous for him and almost sad that he would be going into Kindergarten until we noticed this... and then I couldn't help but smile and laugh and think here we go... 4th grade is down the hall! 

The mom in this picture was trying to comfort her nervous son by telling him all the kids were the same age. When the son looked over at Chamberlain and said what about him? The mom said he is much older and then she asked Chambelrain how old he was and he said 5. The mom continued to tell her son see he is the same age just much much taller...

I think the girl in the blue on the far right looks pretty terrified of him..or I mean his height. 

I'd say he is a least a head above the rest of his class. 

And if Mrs. Brunstad wasn't wearing heels he would be almost as tall as his teacher!
The best part is when we were riding home in the car from school he said excitedly "Mom guess what?! I am the tallest in my class!" I calmly replied thats great son, and in my head I'm thinking you are the tallest in the 1st 2nd and 3rd grade as well. 

I'm excited to see how much he will learn and grow this school year.

I love my little Chamberlain.
