Ben was so excited to start school this year! He LOVES school. When I told him about the Hurricane heading our way he started crying. I told him we would be safe and that he didn't need to cry. He told me he was just worried he wouldn't be able to start school on time. His fears became a reality. School was cancelled for the first four days because the school had no power. He prayed every day that his school would get power back...no mention of our house! He was beyond excited when Friday rolled around and his prayers were answered. He is extra excited that this year he gets his "own locker and his own desk." Kindergarten "only had cubbies and tables!" His first day went great. Kate missed him...instead of asking me when Ben was going to be home she kept asking, "How long is first grade?"
Ben's new teacher is Ms. Varlack. David asked Ben if he liked his teacher after he met her at the "sneak a peek at your seat" day. Ben's reply was, "She's great! (pause) But, I thought she would have the same color hair as Ms. Cox (his blond Kindergarten teacher)." He couldn't quite put his finger on what was different about her. I love his pure innocence.
On the way to the bus, I told him to look for the airplanes when he was looking for his locker. He started laughing and said, "Mom, they are helicopters." I guess I'm getting old!
Waiting for the bus!
Happy to see Miss Betty again!
