My baby heads back-to-school...

Fletcher and Marc started back to school this morning. Fletch is attending Marc's new school this year because, while his old school is phenomenal academically, it just wasn't the best fit for him socially. {Yes, I'm officially a tree-hugging, whole-child-teaching, hippy.} He thinks it's super cool to be going to daddy's school now.

Fletcher picked what I'm sure was ragweed for his teacher - I hope she doesn't have allergies - and put it in a pretty glass juice jar. I wanted to paint it like so many of the sweet painted vases I've seen in the blogosphere lately, but ran out of time.

I got a kick out of the two of them leaving together this morning, playfully pushing and poking each other.

I know Marc will miss his quiet commute to and from work, but Fletcher will love having this time with his daddy.
