Leo had his first day of school today. He was cool as a cucumber, but I was a bundle of nerves. His drop-off time is after his sister so I had time to walk Serafina to school and come back to drive him to school.
Here he is before we left.
His school is sandwiched between two preschools. I joked with him that he shouldn't accidentally go to the preschool instead. He thought that was funny.
He was kind of annoyed with me that I wanted a picture by the school sign, but a mom walked by and said "we did the same picture this morning". Ha!
This is his classroom. It's a fourth grade/fifth grade combo class. There are 11 students total, four of them fifth graders. There is a teacher and an aide in the class.
I was busy during the day (trip to the gym, a birthday brunch and an airport pick-up) so I tried to stay distracted but I was definitely worried about him. When I was waiting for him to come out at pick-up, I was so tense. What if he hated it? What if he was upset and never wanted to go back? And then came out with a smile. He told me it was great and he really liked it. I was so relieved; I blinked back tears of joy. I hope he continues to like it as the work load ramps up. His teacher seems so incredibly nice and the class size is a dream. I'm optimistic it's going to be a great year.
