We now officially have a second grader. Here are the Todd's this morning on their way to school and work. Todd Jr was all ready with his Gator backpack and Gator lunchbox... yes, Todd Jr... not Todd Sr... but I know he wishes he had them too. Apparently it was a wonderful day... Todd Jr was all smiles and excitement and said he had "so much fun!" We came straight home, had a snack, he read The Giving Tree, practiced spelling words, vocabulary words, and math... I thought when I graduated from college I would be all done with this. Luckily, in second grade he should still only have addition and subtraction... next year we have multiplication... Dat Dat will have to help with the more advanced stuff... I agree with Jimmy Buffett "Math Sucks!"
Watching the Todd's leave this morning was bittersweet as well. There should have also been another child in the back seat with Todd Jr., because today would have been Esme's first day of kindergarten... it would have been nice to shop for jumpers, pink pencil holders, bows for her dark curly hair and maybe even a pink Gators backpack and lunchbox too. I wonder if she would have been as independent as Todd Jr is or if she would have made her Dat Dat walk her to class and stay until he knew she was settled. I imagine even if she were like her big brother Dat Dat might have followed at a distance just to be sure all was well... what do you think?
