Back to School

Yesterday was Aaron's first day of 4th grade. I could write pages full of stuff like, "where has all the time gone?" and such, but that's so blase. Instead, I figured I'd share his first-day antics.

At 6:45 when I went in to wake him, he informed me that he is "severely allergic to Mondays." No anaphylaxis ensued, so I took him on to school after feeding him a yummy omelette and some toast.
He doesn't look like he's too allergic.

When I picked him up, he was almost bouncing. He had a great day, which is good news because, you know, his severe allergy could have gotten in the way. *snicker*

He had lots of great stories to tell about his new teachers, and was very excited that one of his teachers filled them in on the truth behind some rumors about her. I sort of think he was more excited about the fact that she also detailed the rumors for them... This kid is oblivious to things going on outside his immediate sphere, so he had no idea about her supposed bad behavior. Apparently, there was a rumor that she threw a kid against the wall, which is absurd considering this teacher, but he was wide-eyed and buzzing with the excitement of relaying the story to me.

Fun times - now if the second day goes as well as the first, we'll be in business!

YAY! I'm allergic to Mondays myself.

Glad the new teacher added an element of entertainment and excitement to an otherwise "dangerous" Monday.
