Slugger started second grade last week. In the rollercoaster of my mother' s heart it seems like such a long time coming, and absolutely amazing that it has come so fast all at the same time. In this picture, he is ready to head off to the bus for his first day...new rolling backpack in hand and a 7-year-old attitude on his face. At this point, he is officially getting into the groove of being back in school. The first day (only a half day), he was completely wiped out...so I was anticipating some serious tiredness for the full days, but he seems to have gotten into the routine quickly. Of course, not too much homework has come home yet, so we will see if that has any influence on the enthusiasm level. Otherwise, Slugger likes his teacher and is quickly making and renewing acquaintances with friends. Definitely his favorite part of school...seeing his friends. Not the most academic of pursuits, but definitely high on his list along with recess, PE, and music. Actually, he seems to enjoy his schoolwork too, but has more to say about his other pursuits. He also makes sure to give me the daily play-by-play of the soccer game at recess.
