First Day of School – Back Packs

Today – marks the first day of Kindergarten for my son. He’s been looking forward to going to the “big school” and now that day has finally arrived. I and like most parents, have not been looking forward to this day – as it reminds us of days and milestones being passed….

As I was watching my son get on the school bus today, I couldn’t help but notice the amount of children that had large backpacks, loaded to the gills, pulling them backwards, and thus altering their posture and gaits.
