First day of school

Both boys made it through the first day of school with flying colors it seems.  My oldest's schedule got changed since he isn't playing football any more and doesn't need PE both semesters.  I think he's talked to me more in the 10 minutes since I came in the door than he has at one time in months.  And I didn't have to pry to get him to talk to me either!  My younger son did very well on the bus and at the school.  I called (after school ended) and talked to one of the aides in the room.  She said she saw him at lunch and he seemed to be in good spirits and did well.  He even initiated conversation with her!  Talk about cool.  He said he went to math and to social studies, but his teacher said they were going to wait a week before going to PE to let all the craziness subside.  That sounds like a plan to me.  My son said he enjoyed riding the bus and likes the driver and the aide. He was in good spirits when I picked him up too.  That is a relief to me.  Still don't want to get my hopes up.  We'll see....
