On the first day of first grade...

I'll tell you what he did...(I've been singing that song from Veggie Tales Jonah for days now!)

Gator did not cry. In fact, he walked right in like he owned the place, plopped his backpack down and asked if he could go out to the playground! He really had a wonderful day. I'm so glad that we decided to enroll him at the tail end of last year. He had a hard time adjusting then, but it has paid off now! He knows most of the kids in his class, and is already familiar with the school. Whew!
I didn't plan this, but Bull's shirt says "2 cool 4 school." Once I realized that he was wearing that shirt on Gator's first day, I had to laugh! We're still on the waiting list for Bull's preschool. Until he gets in, we're enjoying some one-on-one time!

Here are Gator's other first days:
First day of Kindergarten
First day of Preschool

We went to the doctor for Gator's back-to-school physical on Thursday. He is in the 97th percentile for height at 52.5 inches and the 91st percentile for weight at 61 pounds. What kills me is that he has grown 5 inches and gained 7 pounds in ten months! And he's not even a teenager yet! Oh, the grocery bill....
