First Day of School!

Julien was very excited for his first day of school. And nervous. We didn't find out who is teacher was until 6:30 the night before, which is when they post teacher assignments. We got the teacher we requested, Mrs. Miller. And he had two friends that were assigned to the same teacher.

I think most of the day went pretty well. He announced "I didn't break any rules!" He did go to the nurses office, however, when his swing and another kids swing crashed into each other and he fell off and scraped his knee. At recess he played with a little boy named Diego. He only ate the cookies out of his lunch (and we had packed strawberries, half a turkey sandwich and oriental noodles) and he actually fell asleep during nap time (called "magical minutes"). He also got to be line leader when they went to music class.

The bus ride home was more traumatic. He thought the bus driver had gotten lost and was in tears when Richard met him at the bus stop.

But he was ready to take the bus this morning, and I am sure he will begin to get more used to it as time progresses.
