Ricky started 3rd grade last week. He thought he was ready to go back. Now he’s happy to be there and enjoying spending time with his friends. He likes his teacher and that Grandmama gets to come volunteer in the computer lab a couple of times a week. It should be a good year! Ricky is wearing size 1 shoes.
Billy started afternoon kindergarten today. He has been asking for this day since the Kindergarten Round-up last March. Today “Ricky’s School” finally became “Billy’s School” too (that’s what he told Rusty this morning). His favorite thing to do today was color a picture, cut it out, and glue it! He’s easy to please. Billy is wearing size 11 shoes.
Ricky’s job is to pick Billy up after school and bring him to the meeting spot where I pick them up. I was there a little early today, perhaps a bit anxious to see how Billy’s first day went, and I saw these two adorable boys round the corner of the school and sprint to the van. They were smiling and so excited to be sharing the school experience with each other. I only ever went to the same school at the same time as one of my siblings my freshman year of college at BYU (and that may have only been for a semester before my brother graduated), so it was very touching for me to see this today. Very touching, indeed.
