Benson had to do an "All About Me" page for the first day of school. He included his favorite things to do, such as playing soccer, ping pong, and chess. His favorite color is blue and his favorite number is 5. He included his love for going on vacation with his family and riding 4-wheelers/motor bikes. At the end I asked him what he wanted to be when he grew up.
"I want to be a builder."
I believe him.
A few phrases from Claire throughout the day..."This is the best day ever!!" "It's a girl party!" "Mom, if I take care of Mabel for you all day, will you help me clean up?!" sure, that's a fair trade off! "I get to choose whatever movie I want to watch while you and Mabel take a nap!!" And yes, I did enjoy a nice nap while she watched the girl-iest movie she could find! I'm sure it won't be too many more days before she gets a little board and wishes her side-kick brother was around to liven things up.
Benson had a great first day. A few of his comments about the day were...it was long, his favorite thing was music time, lunch was fun, recess was short, it was hot, he liked his teacher, and he remembered a few friend's names that he sat by. I'm sure the long-ness of it will take a bit to adjust to, but I think he's going to have a great first year!
Sure was quiet around the house today.

First days a special.
And Benson the first day of school is special too.
We just repeat that first day over and over and before we know it the first grade is over and we are on to the second, third and before we know we are on 12.
Glad you got through the first day in first grade.
