1st day of 1st grade

yesterday was Z's first day of 1st grade. although we've been prepping for this day for about a month, it finally clicked that when i said first day of school he got that meant "morning school" not the daycare he's been going to all summer.
(already perfected that selective hearing thing i guess)

so he got to use his "skater backback" (backpack). B & I took him to school, found his class & met his teacher. she's very exhuberant; which is good thing, girl's gonna need every bit of that energy as she has a ratio of 75% boys in her class. that's not good for Z, he does better w/girls, w/boys he's prone to battle to determine the hierarchy. we stayed for about 15 min into class & we were the 2nd to the last parents to leave, nobody sticks around in 1st grade the way they do in kindergarten apparently.

at the end of the day i picked him up from daycare. Z has graduated to the big room now & left the safety of the K room. the big kid room is overseen by bigger kids (can't be over 20), so i was pleased to see Z wasn't bruised, bleeding & didn't have a busted lip or an egg on his forehead & as far as we know he didn't cause any on anyone else. his first day was uneventful & our world that =s great!

when i asked him how everything went he didn't really have much to say. the best part of his day was the brownie w/ice cream that he ate at daycare. he saw his buddy J at school on the playground during recess & ate lunch w/him. his teacher has a jar for marbles, so when they are good & fill that jar w/marbles they can have a party - like a popcorn party where they get to watch a movie or a hallowink party.
