Two Firsts in One Day

Yesterday was a day of firsts. It was Evan's first day of morning kindergarten. I thought he'd cling to me when it was time to line up, but he surprised me by getting in line like a big boy. After hearing "I don't want to go to preschool" all the way to preschool for the entire first semester last year, I was shocked to hear "I LIKE school" when he flew out the door at 11:30. Daddy took him today and reported that he RAN to get in line when the bell rang. So far, so good.

Collin had his first day of first grade. He now has to go to school all day, so he was apprehensive about this. Lunch, in particular, was a scary prospect. He balked about getting in line until I walked away to help his brother. Then he got in line when there was no audience for his mini-meltdown.

After school, Evan had his first day of soccer. He can't run very fast, but his heart seems to be in it and he tried hard. We ordered the smallest shirt size possible, but it still looks like he's wearing a dress with leggings. We won't tell him that.
