LR counted down the days until his first day of school this year. He was so excited and when I said how many days were left, "10 more days," or "7 more days," he'd respond with his favorite new expresion, "that's nothing!" Oh, and according to LR, he can do pretty much anything you can do standing on his head. We only hit one snag about a week before school started which was when it occurred to me to tell him about his new teacher. He was shocked to learn he wouldn't be returning to his old teacher, Miss. Marie. He even got a little weepy when I explained that each year we move onto a new teacher who will have different and more interesting things to teach us - hopefully! He really wanted to go back to Miss Marie's room and I was a little nervous about introducing him to his new teacher, Ms. McGill.
So, wearing his new Thomas the Train shirt from Grandma and Grandad Horton and a smile, he set off to school. Ms. McGill was in the doorway greeting students and had to address LR a number of times to get him to make eye contact with her since he didn't know which area of the room to run to first. Here she is putting his name tag on him and showing him how to sign in every day. She has an Irish accent, a strong hand with the kids, decades of experience and is going to be a perfect fit for LR. He's going to have a great time in her classroom this year and I'm looking forward to a wonderful year.
