First grade

Benny started school last Monday. And while I did get a picture, it is on the camera. And not having the computer (another story; side note, gravity is a killer) to hook up the camera, I cannot access it to share. I need to get one on my phone because, really, he looks the same as when he started - really, he wears the same-looking clothes almost every day. With uniforms being only red, white, or navy polos and khaki or navy shorts/pants, we have limited options anyway. Add to that the fact that we didn't get any white shirts (for obvious reasons) and mostly red shirts because that is Benny's favorite color IN THE WORLD. He wears mostly red shirts and khaki shorts with his khaki belt. It works. I'll get a picture soon.

The reason for this post, however, is to share my favorite part, hands down, of school everyday. I take all the kids with me to drop Benny off (of course) and when we get to the front door and Benny hops out of the van, I always say "I love you! Have a great day!" Benny, before closing the door, YELLS, regardless of any passers by, "I LOVE YOU ALL! I HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A GREAT DAY WHILE I'M AT SCHOOL!!" All the while the other kids are yelling, "Bye, Benny! Have a great day at school! We love you!"

I know it won't last forever, but I look forward to enjoying it as long as I can. It's wonderful.
