I packed myself a snack of homegrown cherry tomatoes this morning, and realized when I dropped my son off at school that I’d left it sitting on the kitchen counter.

When I told my son this, he countered with, “You should pay more attention and try harder to keep things in your head.”

As my Mom would say, turnabout’s fair play.

(I swung past home and rescued my snack between school and work.)

First Grade!

He was the first to arrive at Extended Time before school this morning, and complained to me this evening that all he could do was play dollhouse with the few girls who showed up until they opened the gym. I’m planning to let him bring a toy and a book tomorrow, just for before school.

Apart from that, and us not knowing he’d need an afternoon snack from home, the first day of First Grade sounds like it was a good one.
