Thirty Four: First Day of School

The first day of school was "fine."

The new teachers were "good."

And that is about the extent our post-school

conversation until bedtime rolled around.

Hayden didn't give me too much lip about wearing a shirt with a collar because I had informed him the night before that first graders dress up on the first day. First graders are too cool to smile in cheesy first day of school pictures though. Clearly.

I didn't enforce the collared shirt rule with Davis because I found this retro shirt that said "I don't have a mute button" and decided a good warning to his teacher outweighed the need to dress up.

Bedtime update on First Grade: Today's specials was Art. He played with Jayden at recess. He earned a smelly (smelly chap stick rubbed on his hand). Ryan no longer goes to that school. And Hayden is the leader of his table.

Bedtime update on Pre-K - If you are really bad and the teacher "counts to a gillion and a gillion", you will have to go to the Principal's office. But if you are really good, "like gooder than good", "like beyond good", then you are the kid that earns the check mark for the day.

Davis was not the student to earn the check mark today.

There's always tomorrow.
