Sam is loving life as a member of the acadmic set and I'm beyond relieved. So far, so good. Only a minor meltdown and some talky-things that have been problematic thus far.
It's funny to see him walking the halls and toting his gigantic Superman backpack around. He's thrilled with every thing and that's refreshing. Some highlights:
1. He was so excited to see his lunch. He told me that he had way more than the other kids AND "it was like a buffet!".
2. He has introduced himself to every adult in the building. "I'm Sam. Who are you?". He's a budding politician, I think.
3. He loves his teacher, Mrs. Wilson. He thinks she is very cool and funny. We are BLESSED with her. She has walked him up the hall to my room each day and gets an earful of stories each day.
4. Today he wore his Yellowstone Park shirt which has a bear dressed up as an elk. He had to show it to everyone and explain the joke. He also decided that it would be cool to have the bear dress up as a mutant squirrel and wanted to know why they don't make shirts like those. When I didn't have an answer, he decided that he could just make one when he's a teenager, but HIS mutant squirrel will live in another dimension.
5. He's torn between wanting homework and being mad that he WILL have homework. I'm not sure how that's going to go over--we'll see.
