First Day Of Class
So yesterday was a big day for Matthew. His first day of school. Kindergarten to be more clear. I know I know... In July? Well Rockdale starts a little early ... but they pad in more days off etc... Matthew was so excited!! And now his day starts off very early : 6 AM Get Up!!
It was a strange mixture of excitement and nervousnes.... a queasy feeling ... like you were going to be sick... or maybe just hungry. And Matthew was nervous too...
They grow up so quick... but maybe not as quick as these back packs. Look at the size of that thing. Almost as big as Matthew.... oh well. Breakfast eaten.... teeth's brushed. Backpack on. Time to catch the bus.
It is still a bit dark out.... but Matthew sits, and patiently waits for the bus.... I don't remember ever going to school when it was this early. Maybe I just blocked it out of my mind...
The bus arrives, and on he goes. Ready for his first day of school. I of course was not there for this... I was at work. But I did call my wife to see how everything went. She said he was very excited...
They grow up so fast. Yeah.... now I can say, "my kid is in school... hes studying to be a doctor..." ...ok ... maybe not yet. No call from the school.... no news on the TV about some crazy kid starting a fire at the elementary school.... all seems quiet...... too quiet.
And quicker than the wait to go.... The first school day is over. Matthew runs home...
Tired... He had fun... All went well.... only got time out once (for hitting some kid that him him first). Not bad for the first day of school.... we did not have to go to the hospital even once. I think he will be just fine...

Matthew loves going to School. He loves new adventures. He gets ready every morning without complaining eventhough he has to go very early. He comes back tired and worn out. I think one of his favorite things it is the cafeteria and choosing every day what he to eat. The second day he said: " Mommy I had some pizza, and then I remember I had to eat healthy so I went back and got some brocoli too! (that he does not like) and ate some. I was so proud of him for remembering all the good things we moms say ; ) He has a wonderful teacher. We like the program so far. And he also gets music, gym and computers. They grow so fast!!!
