Well, as you can see by this photo Will was less than thrilled that he had to start school today. He loved open house Monday night, but this morning his enthusiasm was not quite as high. Hey, the kid loves his mom.
Donna actually took him in this morning. Yes, there were some tears along the way and when he got to his class. However, his teacher got him and within just a few moments he was the Will we all know and love. With his normal social personality he was showing off his drawings to any of our friend teachers that just "happened" to drop by his classroom.
A special thanks to Heather Whitley and Lana Langley. They kept us posted during the day on his status. Apparently after the initial shock he was fine and had a fantastic day.
Donna picked him up and brought him to the office after school. He had many stories and even declared tonight that he "loved" school.
You know, Donna and I really prayed that Will would get the right teacher. There were a couple that were going out just days after school starts with maternity leaves and that would be hard. Others that we thought would academically challenge Will ( I will give his mom credit that she has done an excellent job preparing him for k in regards to reading, writing, words, etc...). However, God knew what he needed. We really didn't know Ms. McConnell. I thought I knew everybody in this town, but I did not know her. Well, she is a BLESSING! Her personality is one that seems to be very caring and loving to the children.
Thank you Ms. McConnell. Will needed you this a.m. and you were there for him. We look forward to a great year.
Oh, for the record I would say that Donna did better than I did today with Will starting school. Hey, he is my only child and I am an emotional guy.
Picture 2: Donna and Will. The happy couple. He loves his mama.
