As impossible as it is to believe, John Mark started first grade on Friday. He's at a new school this year, but in typical John Mark fashion- he wasn't phased by it. To quote my friend Jamie- "that kid could make friends with a tree stump."
Thursday night, we said prayers for the first day of school, discussed making good choices (aka, STOP TALKING ha!) and turned out the lights extra early. Friday morning he bounced right out of bed, excited to meet his new friends. After a yummy breakfast, we were off to the new school.
We walked into his classroom, dropped off his supplies and found his desk. I talked with his teacher while he walked around and checked out his new classroom.
At this point in the morning, he was ready for me to go. He wanted to go play with his new friends and do it on his own. We gave him one last hug and walked out the door. I stood in the hallway and watched him play for a few minutes. He was putting together a puzzle and talking nonstop to the kid next to him.
Lucy moped around the house for most of the day. I think she was sad to have her bubba gone after a fun summer of playing with her all day. She was very excited when we picked him up.
His first day of school report- "Great!" His favorite part- "everything!" I'll take that as a successful first day of first grade.
