Crocodile Tears and Smiles on Evan’s First Day of School

9.2.08




Despite a shaky start, the day turned out well. It was Evan’s first day at a new building with a new teacher with a big classroom of new kids. He woke up well and even left the house pretty well (notice the smiley picture). But, when we got to school, the tears started. A teacher walked him into school with his class as he cried hard. We hated leaving him like that. But, at 3:10 when we walked down to get him, we were pleasantly surprised at him coming out waving and smiling. He came home happy, jabbering about the day and telling us all the rules. Hopefully, tomorrow will be even better with no tears at all at drop off.
The other two pictures of Evan in the classroom are from orientation last week.

Hello

I overthink everything. This blog is a prime example. Make yourself a cup of coffee and sit down for a read. Actually, make that a pot of coffee. There’s a lot of overthinking here.
