Ian's First Day Back in School

Ian's First Day Back in School

August 16, 2006 / 1:08 PM

Well, this morning went fairly well except for Connor sneaking in Ian's room and putting on his school pants. Few tears after he had to take them off.

We left at 7:30 to walk to school. I visited with Ian's teacher. She is Dakota's mom, a boy from their past class. She seems very nice. She says she is very structured and that last year her students improved in reading levels by 1.5 grades! That is great! Ian may be good with her. I checked on Ian in the lunch room getting breakfast. He seemed happy. There were several people there excited to see the boys including Mr. Glover. J He was happy at least one of the boys was returning.

Faith, Connor & I walked back home. Connor had class. We went to Wal-Mart and back home. I picked up a bit and now watching the clock so I don't forget Ian! J I hope his day went well. It is odd, the change in dynamics in the house, but it is a bit calmer. J

Ian had a good day. Connor, Faith and I went and got them Sonic. First Day of School treat! Ian's teacher said she was putting him in a regular class for Social Studies, Science, and Math. She said he is smart. And he is very polite! I told him he must be using those manners that he forgets when he is around me! (He said a bashful sorry.)

The teacher seemed impressed. One girl is 95% deaf. He has a relatively small class right now. It does usually grow mid way. I am happy.

I saw Ron from across where we used to live. He said the girls are all growing like weeds. I told him I knew. He likes his new job for the state. April is doing well too. He was surprised by Ian being so big.

It was a good day! J SM MacLeod
