The First Day of School

 Today, this little (or big) guy had his very first day of school!  I wasn't worried too much about how he would do, he is a very social person (like his Daddy).  I was more worried about how I would do!  I only went back to check on him twice, and only teared up once.  No actual crying.  I would say it was a successful day!

 He was very excited about going to school!  Our sweet neighbor even made him an awesome cape in honor of his first day.

 He is in the ladybug class.  Surprisingly, we already knew a lot of the kids in his class, so there were some familiar faces.  He was happy to meet his teachers, Miss Stephanie (Miss Teffany), and Miss Kathie (Miss Haffy).

 Decorating their placemats.  Most of the kids stayed at their seats and decorated their own mats.  H put a few stickers on his paper, and then went around the room giving stickers to the teachers and parents.  I wonder what role he will take in the classroom....?

 Listening to the story with his classmates.  Today was only a 45 minute "Meet Your Teacher" day.  The parents had a meeting in the gym, and then picked up the kids.  It was a good way to start the year - especially for those who haven't gone to day care or Moms Morning Out, but I hope he doesn't expect every day to be that short!

He was excited about his school bag. and finding his hook.  

One day of school down, eighteen (or more) years to go!
