Praise the Lord! The first day of school 2007 is now in the history books and we are still here to tell about it. Again, Praise the Lord, it actually turned out to be a great day.
The nutshell version of the day is as follows: I only had to call for Jacob to get out of bed two times this morning! Praise!!
He came downstairs with a semi-smile and an appetite! Yet another Praise - this is the kid who usually likes to wait at least half an hour before he will even discuss breakfast.
After breakfast, he brushed his teeth and dressed. He left the hair combing detail to me - but, hey, I was happy!
On the way to school, he reminded me that he really didn't want to go since, after all - it's still summer!!!
Once we were there and in the building, he was happy to see his friends, but was disappointed that he and Makenzie are not in the same class this year. Makenzie is his "special" friend! Ugh - he's only six!!
I picked him up at 11:30 and found a very happy little boy. He told me (almost verbatim) everything Mrs. Ervin had said and what each kid in the class had done over the summer. Impressive!
He also said he thinks he is going to like first grade and Mrs. Ervin is really nice. So, we went to Pal's (a locally owned fast food joint which has THE BEST french fries EVER!) to celebrate!
I would count this day as successful! Thank you, sweet Lord!
So, since there is no school tomorrow (I know, I don't get it either) we'll visit Granny and Papaw. Then, we'll start again on Wednesday!
I just love happy beginnings!
