First Day of First Grade

Trevon started first grade this past week. I can't believe my baby is old enough to be in first grade! He Had to start a little sooner than we had thought. Right now where we live they are a traditional school schedule, but where we are moving they are year round. When I went to register him three of the four tracks had already started a few days before. And the one track that starts at the end of the month had a waiting list. It took about a week for me to jump through all the hoops to even be able to let him go to his new school. They didn't want to let him start until we were three week away from closing. The reason is because the school is so over crowded, they have to be really strict and you can only attend if you currently live within the boundaries. I had to get special permission from the principal, and I had to bring a copy of our contract with the builder to prove we were really going to be living within the boundaries. But finally I got the go ahead and he is now enrolled in first grade, but he still missed the first eight days of school. The district is currently building another elementary school that will be opening next year, so it won't be so full next year when Jackson will be there for kindergarten.
Those first few days of school Trevon came home so exhausted. It took a few days for him to get used to all day at school. He is a smart kid and catches on to things so quickly, I know he will do great in first grade. We laugh because his whole day is based on whether or not lunch was good. After school when we ask how his day was he will say "It was good, I had pizza for lunch" or " It was alright, the chicken nuggets are not as good as Wendy's" His day revolves around lunch time. (kinda like his Dad! Just kidding hon)
