Sam's first day of school

Sam had a GREAT first day of school at the Early Childhood Learning Center! He was all smiles when I picked him up. After school we met up with Lindsey & Carter for a celebratory ice cream cone at Baskin & Robbins.

Here are the notable remarks and tid-bits about the day: Before he had even opened his eyes this morning Sam said, “I wanna go now.” Later, at school, as Brian and I hung around, Sam asked, “When are yall gonna leave?” Sam is “identified” in his class with a green frog so that’s the paper symbol he moves from the door to the sign-in board every morning when he arrives. It also marks his seat at the table. There are 12 boys in his class; not that many girls. His teachers are Mrs. Bradley and Mrs. Wilson. Sam thinks Mrs. Wilson is cute! He told me that his favorite thing today was playing with Play Doh and that they “drawed pictures of what pirates did a long time ago”. On the way home we saw our friend Mr. Dan and Sam told him, "It was kind of exciting." When I asked about lunch he said, “It’s a kid cafeteria!” Mrs. Wilson reported that no one cried today. On that note, I did not cry at all (at Sam’s request) until I took that first step out of the classroom then the flood-gate opened and I cried all the way to my car! Brian was very sweet & supportive as were all the teachers I passed on the way out. Happy first day of school everyone!

Very proud of his BIG backpack!
