First Day of First Grade

Will had his first day of first grade last Wednesday.  Because he wasn't the "new kid" going to a new school this year, he didn't seem anxious - just excited.  He has moved from tables to a desk, and his classroom is now on the big kids hall at school.  When we dropped him off for his first day last year, the kids sat and colored a picture of themselves.  This year, he had an assignment notebook and he had to write down the day of the week, today's full date, and all of his assignments (most of which were "none" for now).  He looked up at the homework board made a face and put his head down. Ellis and I laughed, patted him on the back and said, "welcome to first grade, Will!"

When I picked him up at carpool he exclaimed,"Mommy, I had the most marvelous day ever!  I made so many new friends!"  He was just bubbling with excitement.  I think its going to be a great year!
