For the first time

Evan's first day of school went very well. He didn't have much to report when he got home (he was much more interested in eating SpongeBob mac n cheese) but his teacher called later in the day to give me an update.

Ev was "a hoot" at school, talking up a storm and interacting with everyone. He participated in all the activities, drank from a regular cup, and did not pee his pants. In fact, when he had to go, he went to the door of the classroom and said, "I'll be right back!" and went out in the hall to the bathroom. An aide had to go with him, which he insisted he didn't need, but I guess he didn't put up too much of a fuss. So it was a good day, and hopefully there wil be many more to follow.

I'm enjoying the flow of the days with Ev back at school. I got a ton of stuff done yesterday around the house, and got to dote on Grady a little more than usual. Ev and I played and had a lot more fun in the afternoon too because we weren't sick of each other. It's a good deal all around. This morning I plan to take a long shower, bathe Grady, and then walk down to pick Ev up from school--all the teachers are dying to meet G.

So the last year of preschool has begun. Ev's happy, and I'm happy, and I know we're going to have a great year.
