Billy started school on Tuesday. He is in the first grade.  We met his teacher during his evaluation and she seems really nice.  He gets to sit at a desk this year. He has been used to sitting at tables so desks are a novelty.  He is riding the bus again this year.  On Tuesday when I woke him up for school he asked me where did the night go.  He was up and ready to go and was heading out the door at 7:30.  His bus doesn’t show up until 8:27.   I was hoping this attitude would last. It did for two days.  Then today we missed the bus and Billy is complaining that first grade is too long.  He went to all day kindergarten last year so I don’t know what the difference is, but he seems to think there is.  He is already complaining about homework. He has had to read two books to me and practice counting backwards from 20.  Not hard at all, but it’s homework.  Billy is a funny kid. He may complain about going to school, but once he’s there he has a great time.  So I am hoping for a semi-good attitude ( I don’t want to get my hopes up) because there’s only 169 days to go.
