Day One of school was pretty good. Alex and Hudson walked Ethan to his classroom, so that was nice. Ethan proudly showed me the stamp he received on his folder for "staying on green all day". Alex was happy to see all of her old friends during lunch and recess, and to become better acquainted with the kids in her classroom (girls she knows but was not very close to previously). Hudson didn't have much to say about his day, but he is excited about having his buddy Noah on the bus with him.
The most distressing thing for me was what I discovered when I unpacked Ethan's lunch box.... he hadn't eaten his sandwich or his granola bar. "Why didn't you eat your sandwich?" I asked him. He couldn't get it out of the container- it was stuck, and he couldn't open the wrapper on his granola bar. He didn't realize that he could have asked a grown-up for help. He also didn't think that there were any garbage cans in the cafeteria, so he put his half finished juice box back into the lunch pail, getting his backpack wet.
Oh well... all in all I think it was a good day... although trying to ask Ethan about his day is like talking to a monkey.
