First Month of First Grade

First grade!  Love it!

Danny loves it, too!  He's jumpin' as soon as the alarm goes off and ready to head out the door.  Hardly gives me a second glance when he leaves.

He worried about starting school right up till he met his teacher for the first time. Mrs. C. is young, pretty and vibrant - and from the moment he knew that was his teacher, he was rarin' to go!

So far, in the first four weeks, Danny's gotten good marks most days - and "excellent student" note from his teacher, his first "hit another student" note home from teacher, and a couple of  "off task" days.  We deal with each day as it comes, and most of them are good.

Meanwhile - I'm completely by myself almost all day long!  Hub goes to work at 5 am so he can pick Danny up after school, Danny and I get up at 7:30, eat breakfast and he leaves at 8 am.   And there I am, all alone.  For hours.

For the first few days I felt like Bob in the scene where he's walking down the country lane. All's well until he realizes he's all alone, then he runs like crazy yelling "I'm all alone! There's no one HERE!"

I  think we've all gotten into the groove though. Danny and Hub get home at the same time, homework, playtime, dinner, TV, reading, bedtime.  And the next day it starts again.

Life is good.
