First grade is no different than Kindergarten...Mama and Papa, neither one, wanted to drop Caleb off for the first day of school. Caleb was completely ready to be there and totally excited about the start of school, but we as parents were still not ready for "the great divide." I have a hard time that this nice teacher, that we have just met, will potentially spend more time with our son than we will. We are excited about the time he will have at school, but it is still hard.
We are all so thankful for all of the Superman gear to help us get ready for school. We love our new backpack (a.k.a. pack-pack) and lunchbox. The lunchbox even has a cape that flies when you twirl it around. Way cool!
Like last year, today we had a "First day of School" cake for our snack after school. Caleb was so excited to see the cake, but was a bit confused. (This cake was an ice cream cake from Maggie Moo's, one of Caleb's favorite places.) He could hardly believe that the cake was really made of ice cream. He was about half way through with his piece, and he looked at Monty and said "My cake is leaking." Evidently, to our first grader "leaking" means the same thing as melting.
