First Day of School (really)

There were a lot of firsts this morning.  

For one thing, I actually had to wake Boylee up. That has hardly ever happened in our lives so far -- mostly because he wakes up pretty early, but also because we did two years of preschool that started at 1pm, and another year that started at 9am.  We just rarely needed to get up and moving quickly.  That has definitely changed with

 the start of kindergarten.  Today he was still snoozing at 7:10, and when school starts at 8:06 (8:06? Yes, 8:06.) that's not going to work.

Then I had to make sure that he actually ate a full breakfast.  That's never been a very big deal, because we've either just been hanging out having fun and he 
could have a snack later, or he's been at preschool, which only ran from 9am to 12pm and featured not just "lunch time," but "snack time," too.  He had a lot to say about his eating preferences this morning, and  he ended up with a scrambled egg, a handful of tamari almonds, a plum and a tortilla.  Not a bad way to start the day, I guess.




Then we...went...to...school.  Real school. All day school. With a backpack and everything. With a lunch box. And a sweatshirt, just in case. (That's probably just in case of mommy psychosis, because it's going to be in the 90s I just realized.)

Believe it or not, no one cried. Not even me.

Tonight another first:  first homework!

What have you done with that adorable toddler with all the curls? Who is this grown up, handsome boy? And when is taking his driving test?
