One day down, 177 to go!

The first day of 4th grade went off without a hitch! Michael was up before Terry and I this morning. He said he didn't sleep all night but that he wasn't excited. Momma knows tho...he was secretly excited and he has his momma's nervous stomach so he was probably awake with a nauseated stomach all night. He let me take a couple of pictures of him but that didn't last long. He looked so cute tho! I convinced him to let me do his hair but that will probably be one of the only times this year! He was ready super early so we went ahead and left for the bus stop. As soon as we got in the car he said, "Now if you start crying Im getting out of the car!" (based on my tears at Chance's dr appt yesterday, he knew I would be shedding a few). I convinced him I wouldn't cry until he was out of the car and he was fine with that. So off to the bus stop we went....new shoes, new clothes, new undies and socks, a new bookbag, and all new school supplies. He was two feet taller than the rest of the kids at the bus stop but that didn't surprise me. Off he went after I stole a quick kiss on the forehead.

I picked him up 7.5 hours later and he was all talk and smiles...Praise God!! He said he had the best day at school ever, Ms. Pechar is the nicest teacher ever and he wished he could have stayed until dark!! Woohoo! Hopefully this lasts all year long! Based on the last couple of difficult years of school I NEED a good, easy year! She is much, much younger than any teacher he has had ever so I hope she can relate to him better. Needless to say, I am already preparing my first email to her! He is at his dad's tonight but I told him I would call tomorrow to see if tomorrow ends as good as today!
