Tuesday was Spencer’s first day of first grade.
He was a tad excited.
I think he was also a little nervous, but he was so good when
we took him in with his four bags of classroom supplies and when I picked him
up from aftercare I asked him how his day was.
“Oh, it was grrrreat.” Further discussion involved PE
(kindergarten doesn’t have organized PE, just teacher-led play) – basketball and
hula hoops, and how his teacher gave a piece of candy to all the kids who had
been good all day (some sort of cinnamon ball) (sidenote – why do people give
other people’s children candy? This bothers me a little, but not enough to be a
squeaky wheel).
He had no homework so I had him do a journal entry and
read (he’s reading some book about a villain who matriculates as a fourth
grader to take over the school … I don’t even know, but at least he can tell me
what he’s reading about) and he picked dinner – homemade blueberry waffles,
eggs and maple sausage.
He asked me if I was going to walk him into school for
every first day.
As many years as I can, dude. Will you let me walk you in
for your first day of 11th grade?

Yes! WHY do so many people give each other's kids candy/sweets/juice? I am with you: I don't want to bring it up and be "that parent" but can we all agree that it's just not always a good idea?
ah he looks so excited! It really bothers me when my kids teacher gives them candy but it infuriates me when she gives them GUM. oh my gosh, why on earth do people think that's ok?!
I like his dinner choice. Congratulations on the first day of first grade!
Margaret wouldn't even let me walk her into her second day of kindergarten! I dropped her at the front door and spent an hour fretting she didn't make it to the classroom (right around the corner).
Sausage for dinner! Happy first day!
