My 2nd Grader

Today was my oldest son's first day of school. He started the second grade!! As some of you know, we live in a podunk town, so I decided to think ahead and do his school shopping online. Well, the only thing that was here before today was one t-shirt. So he had old shoes, backpack, etc. Oh well, the best laid plans.... Luckily he didn't seem to care. He was so cute and excited about school. We talked after school today and for once he actually told me a lot. More than he ever really has, actually. The usual response is "It was good." They are learning about number lines, he has HIS VERY OWN desk with his name on it and a bunch of stuff to put inside. He also received some tickets that get taken away if he does something bad, but if he's good he gets COOL STUFF with them. His younger brother, A, missed him a lot today but it will be nice to get back into a routine again. Now if I could just get my house clean.....

E was tagged by a friend from school with this questionnaire. These answers are truly what he said. I just couldn't help but laugh at some of them. Number 7 is my favorite! Guess we need to work on those measurements! By the way, anyone who reads this is welcome to be tagged!
